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.
