They did do it out of the kindness of their hearts based on terrible assumptions

They were saving kids from savages and turning the next generation of Indians into functioning members of society. They were saving kids. With the benefit of history it looks horrific but based on the values at the time it was better than killing the savages.

I think that they continued into the eighties is more of an embarrassment then that they were started.
