They would need to adopt the ways of white settlers in order to stay in their homelands.

Explanation:

The assimilation policy established by the federal government in the 1800s implied that the Native American inhabitants of the areas west of the Mississippi had to adapt and get used to the dominant white culture in the rest of the country as a requirement to be able to remain in their ancestral lands, which would be awarded to these settlers. Thus, they had to modify their culture and beliefs in favor of that of the White Americans. Even, in many cases, these new white settlers adopted native children with the aim of including them in the European and white culture, in order to erase all traces of native culture and more quickly annex the territories of these tribes.
