The assimilation of Native Americans was a goal of the federal government.
During the late 1800's, the federal government had the goal of assimilating Native Americans into mainstream America. In this case, the government wanted Native Americans to act more like white farmers (which made up a majority of America). This resulted in several different laws and policies that would help enforce this idea. This includes the Dawes Act and the creation of Indian Boarding Schools.
Indian Boarding Schools were schools were Native American kids were sent to learn more about the English language, American culture, etc. Unfortunately, this system had many negative effects as it resulted in the destruction of some Native American cultures and languages.
It was the American invention of the "cotton gin" that greatly aided the British textile industry, since this allowed for the seeds to be picked from cotton at a much faster rate.

The Maasai tribe (or Masai) is a unique and popular tribe due to their long preserved culture. Despite education, civilization and western cultural influences, the Maasai people have clung to their traditional way of life, making them a symbol of Kenyan culture.
Maasai's distinctive culture, dress style and strategic territory along the game parks of Kenya and Tanzania have made them one of East Africa's most internationally famous tourist attractions. Maasai men
The Maasai people reside in both Kenya and Tanzania, living along the border of the two countries. They are a smaller tribe, accounting for only about 0.7 percent of Kenya's population, with a similar number living in Tanzania. Maasais speak Maa, a Nilotic ethnic language from their origin in the Nile region of North Africa.
The Samburu tribe is the closest to the Maasai in both language and cultural authenticity.
