Clay talks with historian Larry Skogen about his new book, "To Educate American Indians," which examines the U.S. policy of assimilating Native Americans into European-derived white America, including the nightmare of the Indian Boarding Schools. One of the troubling elements of this issue was that many of the people engaged in coercive assimilation were, at least in their minds, "philanthropists" who believed they were doing the right thing. It's an important, if disturbing, subject, and Larry Skogen is one of the nation's premier historians of this period.
