Several key acts have significantly impacted Native Americans throughout U.S. history. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 facilitated the forced relocation of Native tribes from their ancestral lands, leading to events like the Trail of Tears. The Dawes Act of 1887 aimed to assimilate Native Americans by allotting individual plots of land and promoting farming, which ultimately resulted in the loss of tribal lands. Additionally, the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 sought to reverse some of the damage by promoting self-governance and restoring some land to tribes.
