The Burke Act of 1906 was U.S. legislation aimed at reforming the management of Native American lands. It amended the Dawes Act of 1887 by allowing for the allotment of lands to individual Native Americans and provided a process for them to gain full title to their land after proving competency in managing it. The Act also sought to encourage Native Americans to assimilate into American society by promoting agriculture and individual land ownership. However, it often resulted in the loss of tribal lands and further erosion of Native American sovereignty.
