[edit] Non-reservation schools
This section needs lots of work, Carlisle Indian School is only one small example. Historically (even currently) there are all kinds of non-reservation boarding schools. There is that hardly obscure Ivy League college which started as an "indian school" around 1770. There are all kinds of what I would call christian missionary schools (as diverse as Roman Catholic and Church of Latter Day Saints), and "do-gooder" projects. All had their own notions on the whys and hows to "educate" children away from their parents or orginal culture.
