lyrics

"the schools were part of Euro-America's drive to solve the "Indian Problem" and end Native control of their lands. While some colonizers advocated outright physical extermination, Captain Richard H. Pratt thought it wiser to 'Kill the Indian and save the man.' In 1879 Pratt, an army veteran of the Indian wars, opened the first federally sanctioned boarding school: the Carlisle Industrial Training School,"-Andrea Smith

there is no water here / keep quiet and quiet / for lack of a name in the english tongue they called him william / by the day of the month by the month of the year thats how they named him / in a withered room / by the bricks of saint catherine / called men of god called men of learning they're stealing children / to do the work of christ to begin the process of civilization
