Many american indians rejected the federal government’s policy of assimilation because they. were not interested in following a nomadic way of life. hoped to live in one place and become farmers instead. preferred to adopt the lifestyle and culture of settlers. did not believe their cultures were inferior to white culture.

The correct answer is did not believe their cultures were inferior to white culture

They believed that they should practice their own cultural belief and not just assimilate and baptize and wear American clothes and anything similar. They mostly wanted to live on their own land with their own customs and not be bothered by the United States citizens who were moving westwards and bothering them.
