During the Gilded Age, Indian policies in the United States were characterized by a push for assimilation and land allotment. The Dawes Act of 1887 aimed to break up tribal lands into individual plots, promoting private ownership and reducing communal landholdings. This policy was part of a broader effort to integrate Native Americans into American society, often leading to loss of cultural identity and significant reductions in land. Additionally, the federal government often used military force to suppress resistance from Native tribes, further entrenching their marginalization.
