Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Native American children were encouraged to attend boarding schools and day schools on reservations, as these were specifically designed to assimilate them into American culture and eliminate their Native American culture. However, local public schools outside of reservations were not seen as an effective means of assimilation because they did not have the same level of control over the students' daily lives and often did not prioritize assimilation.
