How would breaking up the reservations help the government achieve their goal of assimilating the native Americans?

A reservation is a kind of ghetto or enclave, in which native Americans associate only with their fellow native Americans in the reservation and have relatively little if any contact with other types of Americans. If native Americans move to cities where other types of Americans live, they will become more involved with what I might loosely describe as mainstream American culture. That is assimilation.


What do people do on a Native American reservations?

Reservations are the same as any other place in the United States. SOME Native Americans perform ceremonies in teepees but we do not necessarily still live in them. NOT all Native Americans still hunt buffalo. Native Americans wear regular clothes and do not run around in loin clothes. As for what we do on a reservation, we live. There are stores, buildings, dirt, trees, roads, and pretty much anything else. A reservation is the same as a town but some people may take longer to get to the paved roads and stores.
