Answer:

One strategy that the U.S. employed to assimilate American Indians after their forced relocation was to teach native children English and encourage them to shed their cultural identities (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The U.S. often separated American Indian childrens from their families and sent them to a bording school so that they would lose their cultural ties and learn to speak English. This was how the U.S. tried to assimilate the American Indians into the European culture.
