Answer:

Native Americans experienced a loss of tribal culture

Step-by-step explanation:

The main idea behind the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, according to General Richard Pratt was to "Kill the Indian, save the man". This means that the Americanization should happen at any cost. Beyond a typical military regimen, Pratt was known to use corporal punishment on students who exhibited Native behaviors to help students become dependent only on themselves.
