The American government of the time wanted to assimilate native culture. They forced nomadic tribes like the Sioux onto small farms to try to eke out a living on poor land. They forced the natives to adopt white Christian names, attend church, and wear white culture clothing. The government also made these tribes dependant on government rations.
