The law designed to Americanize Native Americans by promoting the desire to own property and farm reservation land was the Dawes Act of 1887. This legislation aimed to assimilate Native Americans into American society by allotting individual plots of land to families, thereby encouraging a transition from communal living to individual land ownership and agricultural practices. The act also sought to diminish tribal sovereignty and promote the idea of private property, often resulting in significant loss of Native American land.
