That was done (and worse, as well), but the main motivation was not
religious.  It was to get them off the reservation (literally) and to get
them to assimilate into the population.  There were also programs that took
families off their reservations and relocated them to big cities.  And then
there was the Indian Health Service's attempt to make long-term
assimilation moot, by simply sterilizing thousands of native American
females, often without their consent or even knowledge.
