The assimilation of native americans was a goal of leaders such as crazy horse

The assimilation of Native Americans was a goal of the federal government.

During the late 1800's, the federal government had the goal of assimilating Native Americans into mainstream America. In this case, the government wanted Native Americans to act more like white farmers (which made up a majority of America). This resulted in several different laws and policies that would help enforce this idea. This includes the Dawes Act and the creation of Indian Boarding Schools.

Indian Boarding Schools were schools were Native American kids were sent to learn more about the English language, American culture, etc. Unfortunately, this system had many negative effects as it resulted in the destruction of some Native American cultures and languages.
