Question

question 9 of 10
what was one strategy the u.s. government widely employed to assimilate
american indians after their forced relocation?

a. giving rewards to missionaries who successfully converted native
communities to christianity

b. paying money to natives who publicly denounced their tribal
identities

c. interning natives in reeducation camps throughout the south

d. giving land to natives, provided they lived separately from their
tribes

Explanation:

The Dawes Act (1887) was a key policy. It aimed to break up tribal lands and allot land to individual Native Americans. The condition was that they live separately from their tribes, which was a form of assimilation. Missionaries converting Native Americans was part of a broader assimilationist push but not as widely employed a strategy as the land - allotment policy. Paying for denouncing tribal identity was not a major widespread strategy. Internment in re - education camps in the South was not a common U.S. government strategy for Native American assimilation after forced relocation.

Answer:

D. Giving land to natives, provided they lived separately from their tribes
