Examples
“[…] a pan-Indian movement based on the successes of the Black Power Movement […] had its roots [in] the 1870-1933 Native American boarding school experiences of their parents and grandparents. It was in these boarding schools where Native language, culture and ceremony would be beaten out of the Native children in order to 'Kill the Indian and Save the Child'.”
“[…] he looked like the housemaster [Shaun] had so hated during his time at boarding school.”
“My brother loved his boarding school, and the few months I spent there were some of the happiest times of my life.”
