We are trying to solve the problem with the natives . . . the only thing I can see would [be] to get the children right away from their parents and teach them good moral, clean habits & right from wrong & also industries that will make them more useful. —Annie Lock, Australian missionary, 1929 No uncivilized people are elevated till the mothers are reached. The civilization must begin in the homes. —“Mrs. Dorchester,” Women’s National Indian Association, 1890
