Taking a comparative approach, Woolford focuses on the Albuquerque Indian School, the Santa Fe Indian School, the Fort Alexander Indian Residential School, and Portage la Prairie Indian Residential School to serve as the basis for comparisons drawn from secondary literature, archival documents, and oral histories. He applies the term genocide to the âbenevolent experimentâ of boarding schools for indigenous children, which destroyed indigenous groups as self-sustaining and self-defining entities, and with it went Indian culture, language, traditional society, and family groups--thus eliminating obstacles to land acquisition and resource extraction for the white elite.
