To destroy them by cultural subversion.

The first step to this process was to herd them all together into a reservation; this subverted their cultural system of food production and made them reliant on the food provided to them by the white man.

Once there, all of their religious practices were outlawed and those practicing that religion were jailed or killed. (These laws stayed on the books until 1976; even though they violated the 1st amendment of the constitution)

There was also the "Educate the children to kill the Indian" (direct quote of program administrator) plan: This plan was simple, it took all Native American children away from their families; cut their hair, forced them to wear non-native clothing, jailed them for speaking their native language, and forced them to adopt the Christian religion. Those children that refused were beaten or jailed, and those that ran away were jailed or killed. (This plan officially ended in 1965 - although it still continues).

There were several other things tried that failed miserably, like trying to force them to farm, etc.

There are other things that happened, and are still happening today, that are an extension of that original plan(s) - but being they are more modern in origin they do not qualify under the restraints of the question.

For many Native communities, this event marked the start of a long struggle for survival, identity, and rights in the face of relentless expansion and assimilation pressures.
