The Dawes Act of 1887 aimed to assimilate Native Americans into American society by allotting individual plots of land to families and emphasizing farming and land ownership. While it did lead to some economic opportunities for a small number of Native Americans, the overall success was limited. Many tribes lost significant portions of their ancestral land, and the policy often undermined traditional communal living and cultural practices. Ultimately, the act contributed to a further decline in Native American populations and sovereignty rather than achieving meaningful assimilation.
