Many people in the U.S. during the 19th century believed Indian tribes needed to be "civilized" due to a prevailing ethnocentric worldview that deemed Euro-American cultural norms superior. This belief was often rooted in Manifest Destiny, the idea that Americans were destined to expand across the continent. Proponents argued that assimilating Native Americans into Western culture would lead to their "improvement" and integration into American society, reflecting a paternalistic attitude that disregarded the tribes' own cultures and ways of life.
