Abstract

This study will discuss Native American discrimination by the U.S. government while focusing on the education system and policies the Native Americans suffered through. A push to remove the sovereignty of Native Nations through assimilation by the U.S. government has led to arguments that Native Americans have been the recipients of cultural suppression.
