Quote: "This forced replacement of one identity for another, a cultural violence enabled in part through acts of physical violence, was in so many ways located at the scene of writing. More horrific than most scenes of writing, however, the boarding school stands out as the ultimate symbol of white domination, even genocide, through assimilation in the American Indian experience."

Question: How can we still be the "home of the free" when we strip people of their cultures in order to force them to be like us, and then go on to write history as if we did it for their own good?
