Best Answer

The American government tried to Americanize the Native American population by offering land and citizenship to those who would give up their tribal traditions and culture. The Dawes Act (February 8, 1887) encouraged several Native Americans to do as such. The Act basically regarded this distribution of land to Native Americans in Oklahoma.

The Dawes Act was an act passed in 1887 that granted citizenship to Native Americans if they agreed to live on the land allotted to them. This caused many Native Americans to lose what had been their tribal land. And a lot of Europeans paid money to be an Indians.
