according to the lesson, what impact did american indian boarding schools, like the carlisle indian school, have on the american indian community?
it imposed conformity to mainstream american culture.
it reinforced american indian culture in students.
it taught american indian children basic farming skills.
it taught american indian children basic educational skills like reading, writing, and math.

Explanation:

American Indian boarding schools like Carlisle Indian School aimed to assimilate Native American children into mainstream American culture. This involved practices such as cutting their hair (a cultural symbol), forbidding their native languages, and teaching them Euro - American values. The goal was not to reinforce Native American culture but to make them conform to the dominant culture. While basic educational skills (reading, writing, math) might have been part of the curriculum, the overarching and most significant impact was the imposition of conformity to mainstream culture. Basic farming skills were not the main focus of these assimilation - oriented schools.

Answer:

It imposed conformity to mainstream American culture.
