That's for sure, and it went beyond exploitation, and lasted beyond slavery, too. That some of the First Peoples' cultures are still with us is amazing. These are a couple of very interesting books I've read who's titles happen to show relevant dates.

Boarding School Seasons: American Indian Families, 1900-1940, by Brenda J. Child; U of Nebraska P, 2000.
Education for Extinction: American Indians and the Boarding School Experience, 1875-1928, by David Wallace Adams; UP of Kansas, 1995.
