Education for Extinction
''Education for Extinction: American Indians and the Boarding School Experience, 1875–1928'' is a 1995 history book by David Wallace Adams that covers the history of assimilation era American Indian boarding schools.
== Synopsis ==
''Education for Extinction'' is an exhaustive history of assimilation era American Indian education, particularly its boarding schools.〔 Adams contends that boarding schools were the federal government's key means for addressing its American Indian issues, and that the schools left a "psychological and cultural mark" on Indian students even while they failed at assimilation.〔 He uses published primary and secondary archival sources as evidence combined with anthropological theory.〔 The book is divided into four sections: education as the assimilation program's center, American Indian perspective of the program's impact, an analysis of American Indian reaction to boarding schools, and American Indian post-educational experiences and reformer reflections.〔
Reformers sought to change their role from civilizers to assimilators when reservation conditions crumbled.〔 This plan for assimilation included provision of dedicated lands, and new legal and educational systems,〔 including common schools, day schools on reservation, and boarding schools both on and off reservation.〔 Adams describes boarding schools that "alienated those it claimed to serve" as its "total institution" nature provided acculturation outside standard curriculum.〔 While students received instruction in the three Rs and in farming and domestic areas, Adams shows practices that targeted the students cultures including haircuts, restriction of native language and names, and school uniforms.〔 With regard to reformer intent, he summarizes that the "only way to save Indians was to destroy them (culturally)".〔 Adams details the complex reaction to the schools, from hiding children to arguing over certain rules, and the overall acquiescence to the federal role.〔 While students expected to become literate and learn new technologies, they often fell ill or died and received fewer benefits than they were promised.〔 Adams finds more criticism from lack of "adequate and responsive instruction" than he does towards the schools as a system.〔
