Answer 1

The American government tried to assimilate Native Americans mainly through education and land policies. One way was by setting up Indian boarding schools where Native kids were taken from their families and taught to speak English and adopt Western customs, kinda forcing them to forget their own languages and traditions. Another way was through the Dawes Act, which divided up tribal lands into individual plots, trying to encourage Native Americans to farm like settlers, which messed with their communal way of living and aimed to make them more like mainstream Americans, but it really just led to loss of land and culture in many cases.
