Answer 2

C) strip American Indians of their cultural traditions

In the 1870s, The federal government started transferring American Indians to off-reservation boarding schools. This incident happened when the United States was still at war with the Indians. During 19th and early 20th centuries, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) established additional boarding schools which were based on the assimilation model. The government gave religious orders to provide basic education to Native American children on the reservation basis.
