Answer 1

The major purpose of the Carlisle Indian School was to promote cultural assimilation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cultural assimilation is the socialization process of acculturation in which members of a non-dominant group mingle with the dominant group and adopt the culture from it, while letting go of their own culture.

The group in question thus eventually merges with the dominant culture. This presupposes in the absorbed group the loss of certain distinguishing features, for example in the sphere of clothing, speech or manners, as a result of contact with that other culture or community.

This was precisely the main objective of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, which sought to include the natives of the reservations in the Anglo-Saxon American culture.
