Did the Seminole Indians have a education?

All native children were taught in the ways of their tribes until the 1800's. The United States government decided to open schools for the Native American children, but what they managed to do is treat generations of childrenhorribly. The government removed the children from their tribes, cut their hair ( for the boys the cutting of hair meant that a parent had died), removed the native clothing and put them in suits and dresses, didn't allow them to practice their own customs, and didn't allow them to speak their native tongues. The result was children who didn't know who they were or what they were. When they were done in the schools the children were allowed to go at 18, but now they didn't know the ways of their tribes nor the language. Yet, they were not accepted into the white society. They were a people without a home. Some committed suicide, others drank, and a few ended up in prison. This was a shameful thing that the United State government did.
