In 1889, the Indian Territory, which was designated for Native American tribes, was significantly impacted by the passage of the Dawes Act and the subsequent land runs. The Dawes Act aimed to assimilate Native Americans by allotting them individual plots of land, which led to the fragmentation of tribal lands. Additionally, the Land Run of 1889 opened up a portion of the Indian Territory to non-Native settlers, resulting in a rush for land and the establishment of new towns, ultimately diminishing Native American sovereignty and land holdings.
