Cultural assimilation of Native Americans

George Washington and Henry Knox have formulated a policy to encourage the assimilation of Native Americans and transform their culture to European-American culture. Education is the primary method in the acculturation process for minorities and the immigrants from Europe have caused a growing public support for education to encourage a standard set of cultural values and practices for the majority of citizens to share. The six-point plan for civilization as formulated by George Washington:\n1. impartial justice toward Native Americans\n2. regulated buying of Native American lands\n3. promotion of commerce\n4. promotion of experiments to civilize or improve Native American society\n5. presidential authority to give presents\n6. punishing those who violated Native American rights.
