Kill the Indian, Save the Man (Hardcover)


For five consecutive generations, from roughly 1880-1980, Native American children in the United States and Canada were forcibly taken from their families and relocated to residential schools. The stated goal of this government program was to "kill the Indian to save the man." Half of the children did not survive the experience, and those who did were left permanently scarred. The resulting alcoholism, suicide, and the transmission of trauma to their own children has led to a social disintegration with results that can only be described as genocidal.

Ward Churchill is the author of "A Little Matter of Genocide," among other books. He is currently a Professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
