Convert them to Christianity
Native American Indians were exposed to Christianity from the various European explorations and settlements - French in North America, Canada, and Louisiana territories; Spanish in Florida, California and the Mid-west to west coast; Dutch and English on the East Coast pushing west. Missionaries were also sent out to convert them.
One could ask why any group/people convert to any belief - it is because they believe it to be the truth. No one forced the American Indians to convert to Christianity - though some undoubtedly were or even 'bought' to convert. This is the way of some in mankind. Many still hold to their own beliefs today.
