In March 3, 1819, the Civilization Fund Act was passed. It encouraged benevolent societies (Christian missions and the government) to provide education to Native Americans. This meant introducing the Indians to new skills, language and even culture. To author Metha Parisien Bercier, it meant being taken away from her family, thrust into an unfamiliar world and quite possibly turning her back on the life she knew.
