How is American Indian reservations today different from life for them before reservations?

The reservations meant that the Indians led a totally different way of life. They were a means of totally destroying the Indian culture and way of life. The Indians were not allowed to hunt the buffalo which in the best provided them will nearly everything they needed. This was they had to depend on US food hand-outs. If they tried to rebel the US would stop the food hand-outs and the tribe would starve. Tribes were split up across different reservations- they were no longer united so the tribal council, the chief lost their roles in the tribe. Religious feats, ceremonies and dances were banned, the medicine man lost his role in the tribe. Were not allowed to carry weapons- so braves couldn't prove their bravery by battle and they couldn't increase their wealth by stealing horses. Indians lost power to punish themselves, would be put on trial like Americans-lost Indian way of life and culture, Some Indians were made into US police style officers a cunning ploy to make some Indians loyal to the USA. Children were forcibly made to go to boarding school, they lived in military conditions and were taught to disrespect their Indian culture and were not allowed to speak their tribal language, Dawes act 1887 split reservations into farming plots for each family- plan to turn Indians into 'civilised' Americans and this also split the tribe. Poor, infertile soil meant they couldn't make good produced so depended on government.
