Native American boarding schools were ostensibly put in place to help American Indian youth assimilate to white culture, but they were also used to strip attendees of their identities. Physical abuse and malnourishment were commonly reported at these facilities. At the peak of the boarding school movement, more than 10,000 Native Americans were educated in off-reservation boarding schools annually.
