How did the US government attempt to assimilate Native Americans? Was it successful?

Why or Why not?

The Dawes act was the government attempt in having natives assimilate into American society. They were stripped from their culture and beliefs. The land that once belonged to them was sold off to white settlers and they were given the option to become citizens only if they settled for the land that was offered to them. In a way yes it was successful because Indians were forced to assimilate.
