George Grant, a Presbyterian minister from Nova Scotia who traveled across the northwest portions of Canada in 1872 observing Native Americans of that country, wrote upon his return; "As the Indian has no chance of existence except by conforming to civilized ways, the sooner that the Government or the Christian people awake to the necessity of establishing schools among every tribe the better.
