Question

based on source 1 and 2 which statement best explains a consequence of the assimilation of native americans at the carlisle indian industrial school?

Answer 1

Answer: Native Americans experienced a loss of tribal culture.

Explanation:

The sources are missing however the above answer should be the correct one as it is a generally accepted effect of the model of teaching at Carlisle Indian industrial school.

The Carlisle school was founded with the belief that Native Americans needed to be Americanized to survive extinction. As a result the main purpose of the school was to strip them of their tribal identity and give them an American one.

The Indians were given new white names and their hairs were reduced. They were also punished when they displayed their native culture and as it was a military school the punishment was "sufficient enough" to put them on the path required.

This led to Native Americans there experiencing a loss of tribal culture.
