What resulted from the passage of the Dawes Act in 1887?
The reservation system was nearly destroyed by the Dawes Act of !887. Land allotted to Indians was soon controlled by non-Indians. Indians did not receive adequate payment for their land and soon spent any money they did receive because they were not used to handling money. Much of the land allotted was not adequate to be economically supportive and division amongst heirs made the portions even smaller.
What was the effect on the Dawes Act on Native Americans?
Native Americans lost much of the land that they had before the passage of the act.
What policy required American Indians to maintain the land they were given in exchange for receiving American citizenship and ownership of the land after 25 years?
The policy that required American Indians to maintain the land they were given in exchange for receiving American citizenship and ownership after 25 years is known as the Dawes Act of 1887. The act aimed to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream American society by dividing their land into individual allotments and encouraging them to adopt farming practices. It ultimately had devastating effects on Native American communities, leading to the loss of much of their traditional lands and ways of life.
What law gave Indians land?
It may seem a bit strange, but there is no law that give Indians land. They Native Americans were considered a soverign nation and treaties were entered into. Most of them were done without the full understanding or even a choice in the matter in the case of the Native Americans. In other words, most of them were signed pretty much at gunpoint and enforced in the same manner. Even today, Indian lands are not subject to many federal and state taxes, as well as the state laws. That is why many Indian tribes sponsor casinos, they are not subject to the limitations of state regulation.
What did the dawes general alottment act grant the Indians?
The Dawes Act of 1887 surveyed native lands, gave to each native over 18 years old 40 acres and the "excess" was given to white settlers or became parks, BLM, National Forests ,or other federal land. The land was not theirs outright becuase they were considered legally "minors" and it was held in trust for 25 years. They were also supposed to get US citizenship. The goal by supporters was: breaking up of tribes as a social unit, encouraging individual initiatives, furthering the progress of native farmers, reducing the cost of native administration, securing parts of the reservations as Indian land, and opening the remainder of the land to white settlers for profit. Much of the remaining alloted land was lost this way by unscrupulous trustees. The mishandling of these lands and the income from them continued for decades until the court case Cobell v Salazar was settled for 3.4 Billion dollars in 2009.
