The YMCA
From Dickinson College Wiki
Among the various methods used to convert Indians into civilized white citizens at the Carlisle Indian School (CIS) was “Christianizing” the Indian students by instilling traditional Christian values into all students in the program. A good deal of the student’s religious training was spent attempting to give the students an understanding of the Bible’s stories and messages and to emphasize the value of virtue to the students. Many students seemingly took these messages and values to heart and changed their lives to live in accordance with the Christian values they had learned at the Indian School.
