“The Victorians had learned how to break the will of their own children and they would now practise it abroad. So, towards theend of the 19th century, the establishment of native boarding schools in Australia and North America became the new gold rush. Civilising the savages was a project that went hand in hand with taking over their land, while the apparent need for the former would easily obscure the cunning of the latter.”
