When Will U.S. Apologize for Genocide of Indian Boarding Schools?

The cultural genocide perpetrated by Canada's Indian residential school system was heavily influenced by the United States.

When the Canadian government first sought solutions to the country's "Indian problem," back in the 19th century, it turned to the cruel yet expedient example set by its neighbor to the south. A member of Parliament, Nicholas Flood Davin suggested that Canadians model their efforts after those established by U.S. Army Lt. Richard Pratt, who founded the Carlisle Indian School in 1879. Pratt coined the infamous phrase,"Kill the Indian to Save the Man," as a motto for the systematic destruction of Native culture, language and family as an alternative to warring against tribal nations.
