In 1879 the Carlisle Indian Vocational School opened and worked with a mandate to destroy the Indian and save the man" for nearly thirty years. This philosophy compelled officials to speak the English language, dress and culture.

The purpose of this school was to "civilize" Indian children in American by separating them from their reservations and immersing them in the white ideals of society and teaching them a corporation, the first Indian non-reservation School that was supported by the federal government.

The purpose of the school to the students was to;

• To explain how the United States functions Government sought to destroy aboriginal culture after indigenous nations were suppressed in the 1800s;
• Explain the aims and strategies for American Indian children in the Indian Boarding School system;
• Lists forms in which Carlisle Industrial School was associated with military culture and American Native American military response;
• To report today on the survival and recovery of the cultural heritage of Native America.

The goal was to promote the integration of the indigenous people in American mainstream society  .In 1893, the Indians played their first year, which was recognised by the NCA. The Indians were still out-sized by the expected teams and in turn relied on pace and fuss to be successful. The Indians were often over-seated. The textbook of Carlisle gave birth to a vast variety of tricks and other inventions popular in the world of American football. Carlisle is credited with both overhand spiral lift and hand-off fake. Other trick played by Carlisle Indians cannot be employed, because the NCAA developed rules to prevent Carlisle from using them.

This was an ideology which required administrators to speak English, wear Anglo-American clothing and behave on U.S. values and cultural principles. 24 more schools off booking were produced by the Carlisle model. The U.S. is now occupying the Carlisle campus. Army War College is also a venue for learning, thinking and remembering the memory of those students in this assimilation policy.

Thaddeus Pound, a 3rd-term congressman for the United States, supported the concept of assimilation following many failures by the US government to bring an end to Natives by violent military operations. In 1881 he suggested that the assimilation of Native Americans be cheaper and faster than the continuation of their combat. Pound lobbied Congress to emphasize the civilization of indigenous peoples that this should be undertaken for humanitarian reasons. However the ultimate goal was to isolate children from their society spiritually and socially so as to preserve Indians while undermining their identity This debate brings up the suggestion that aboriginal children were taught in white culture and that their culture was erased using forced assimilation. Carlisle School was compared with extermination camps and brainwashing centres, because children were robbed of their family and community. It hasn't been as bad as extermination, the logic goes, because it was only one step ahead: the only criminal act to be born was cruel and unusual punishment. You will still see exceptions, students who adjusted to the international ways preached at school, doing well afterwards and how much worse than assimilation is in the country. But the school at best was a noble, failed experiment. The federally funding Indian academy, the first non reservation, was to "civilize," eradicate from its reservations, delve into the ideals of white society and teach them a corporation. Their aim was to "civilize" the Indians.
