The Dawes Act of 1887 aimed to assimilate Native Americans into American society by allotting them individual plots of land, which undermined tribal landholdings and sovereignty. This act facilitated the transfer of millions of acres of Native American land to white settlers, promoting westward expansion and settlement. By breaking up communal lands, the Dawes Act encouraged the migration of settlers seeking agricultural opportunities, further accelerating the settlement of the West. Ultimately, it contributed to the significant reduction of Native American land and the disruption of their traditional ways of life.
