For Native Americans to learn to read and write
For Native Americans to farm the land west of the Mississippi River
For Native Americans to teach the Europeans near their territories how to hunt and fish
For Native Americans to change their ways so they were more like people of European descent

Answer 1

The goal of assimilation was primarily for Native Americans to change their ways so they were more like people of European descent. This involved adopting European customs, languages, and ways of life, often at the expense of their own cultural identities. The intent was to integrate Native Americans into European-American society, often through education, religion, and economic practices.
