Why was the dawes act well intended?
Officially, its stated intent was to provide Indians with official ownership of land en thereby, to help them integrate in American society. Another stated intent however was to take away from them by purchase the "excess" land that they were then using, and giving that land to non-Indians. Of course it was the Government that would decide what "excess" was and it was also the Government that unilaterally would decide what a 'fair price' would be. It is therefore a matter of opinion whether the stated good intentions of the Dawes act were sincere. Looking at how the act worked out, it put the Indians in reserves and the price they got for their 'excess' land would today be considered far from fair.
