An 1887 order issued by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs stated, “The instruction of the Indians in the vernacular is not only of no use to them, but is detrimental to the cause of their education and civilization,
and no school will be permitted on the reservation in which the English language is not exclusively taught” (Commissioner of Indian Affairs 1887, xxii). This quote illustrates which of the following?
a. English was taught to the Native Americans only as a means of creating a national standard for language.
b. European culture was considered superior to Native American traditions, knowledge, and language.
c. The existence of multiple Native American languages required the need for a standard language.
d. The reservation system and treatment of Native Americans by the U.S. government was fair and just.
