How did officials asimilate American Indians?

Answer 1

They didn’t. Native Americans were placed on reservations, killed, or discriminated against.

Answer 2

Officials successfully assimilated the majority of American Indians through physical, mental, and sexual abuse. This took place originally in concentration camps, or prison of war camps, where the physical and mental abuse took manifested through watching as their relatives were grouped together and murdered. Sexual Abuse as a form of assimilation took place because their strategic goal for assimilation was to have a child with a full blood American Indian women making their child half American Indian blood and half European, then to repeat this same process in strategic fashion by having a child with the child making that child one quarter American Indian and three quarter European, and repeating this process until the child no longer resembled American Indian through features resembling the European side of their DNA and being a successful assimilation. This tactic is still in effect today. From the early concentration camps where the elderly and least likely to be assimilated where either put to death, died by natural causes, died from assault wounds, or were old enough to breed the full blood American Indian children, and sometimes the half breed American Indian children, were sent to government run Christian and catholic boarding schools where they essentially had their identity stripped starting with their clothes, cutting of their hair, followed by their religion, then their language and most often their family because their family died in the concentration camp turning them into orphans. After they went through these government run catholic and christian boarding schools is where the reports of sexual abuse come into play more so, although physical and mental abuse were ever present. At the time while these children were in these boarding schools they went through puberty and such changes in maturity made them more easily targeted for sexual abuse. Many American Indians assimilated for fear of their own lives as well as the lives of their living relatives.
