to what extent the BIA day school architecture and educational environment reflect myth of manifest destiny?

Question

the belief that American have divine mandate to dominate North America from coast to coast .

Answer 1

The old stone walls, stern matrons, military-type school set-up (especially in the early 1900's), strict policy about speaking english only,...all contributed to erase the culture out of us Indians. My grandpa got an english name, my dad and mom went from grade school thru high school at the Stewart boarding school. In that time, they became thoroughly indoctrinated into the dominant culture.
