How did the unwillingness of native Americans to embrace white culture and farming techniques affect white support for Native American citizenship?

The unwillingness of Native Americans to adopt white culture and farming techniques often reinforced negative stereotypes among white settlers, leading many to view Native Americans as "backward" or resistant to progress. This perception diminished white support for Native American citizenship, as many believed that assimilation into Euro-American culture was necessary for civil rights. Consequently, the failure to embrace these practices was used to justify exclusion from citizenship and further marginalized Native communities. This dynamic perpetuated a cycle of misunderstanding and discrimination that hindered efforts for Native American rights.
