Assimilation can be detrimental to Native Americans as it often leads to the erasure of their cultural identities, languages, and traditions, which are vital to their heritage and community cohesion. This process can also contribute to social and economic marginalization, as Native Americans may face pressure to conform to mainstream societal norms, resulting in a loss of their unique perspectives and ways of life. Furthermore, historical attempts at forced assimilation have caused intergenerational trauma, impacting mental health and community well-being. Ultimately, assimilation risks undermining the resilience and diversity of Native American cultures.

This legislation had lasting negative impacts on Native American communities and cultures.
