The simplest answer is all of them. To date there is no single "promise" (treaty obligation) given by the United States that has been honored.

Did the government keep or break most of the treaties that it made with the native Americans?

The government historically broke many treaties made with Native Americans, often prioritizing expansion and resource acquisition over honoring agreements. Numerous treaties were signed under duress or false pretenses, and subsequent policies frequently disregarded their terms. This pattern of treaty violation contributed to significant loss of land, culture, and autonomy for Native American tribes. While some treaties were upheld, the overall trend has been one of broken promises and unfulfilled commitments.

What pieces of legislation served to break off the communal nature of Native American land ownership?

Native American groups were communal and Americans were very individualistic. The federal government sought to break Native Americans of their communal nature and force them to assimilate with the Dawes Severalty Act of 1887. The Act gave citizenship and 160 acres of land to the heads of households of individual Native American families or 80 acres to single adults or orphans. Adults could not gain full title to the property for 25 years. The Bureau of Indian affairs even sent Native American children to boarding schools to force assimilation.


What was the original intent of the Dawes act?

The original intent of the Dawes Act, enacted in 1887, was to assimilate Native Americans into American society by allotting them individual plots of land and promoting agriculture. The Act aimed to break up communal tribal lands, which were seen as barriers to assimilation, and encourage Native Americans to adopt European-style farming practices. By granting individual land ownership, the government sought to integrate Native Americans into the capitalist economy and reduce the influence of tribal governance. Ultimately, the Act led to significant loss of tribal land and cultural disruption.
