What pieces of legislation served to break off the communal nature of Native American land ownership?
Native American groups were communal and Americans were very individualistic. The federal government sought to break Native Americans of their communal nature and force them to assimilate with the Dawes Severalty Act of 1887. The Act gave citizenship and 160 acres of land to the heads of households of individual Native American families or 80 acres to single adults or orphans. Adults could not gain full title to the property for 25 years. The Bureau of Indian affairs even sent Native American children to boarding schools to force assimilation.

what are the similarities between native Americans and African Americans?
None, there are not one cultural trait that is the same between these cultures; although American's claim to share these traits. As a non-exhaustive example: * Honor: Americans give their word, even in writing, and promptly break it (see treaties of the United States): Native Americans can and will keep their word (promises) * Religion: Americans claim to have tolerance for all religions and not impose their religion on others, while doing just the opposite: Natives know and understand that everyone has different beliefs and should follow them without influence from another. * Government: Americans tolerate (if not enjoy) corrupt government, political leaders without punishment for those that violate their public trust: Natives do not tolerate leaders like this (and before coming under US Laws, promptly executed those corrupt leaders - and their families in some cases). * Tolerance: American's claim to enjoy, if not revel in, diversity of people, views, ideals, etc. while in fact they reject, denounce and show hatred to anything they do not agree with: Natives know and understand the single law of humanity, that all men are free to conduct themselves in any manner they wish with the only limitation being that they may not harm another, or infringe on another right, to do the same. This list is not exhaustive, but gives a general ideal between the cultural differences between these two groups.
