You bring up something interesting. While I was living on the Blackfeet Reservation ( in Montana), I learned that the boarding school program you referred to was very successful there. In fact, it was white historians who got together with all of the elders and preserved the stories, songs, and culture in general, and then later taught it back to the younger generation.
'course, they don't like being reminded of that... <G>
