The General Allotment Act of 1887, also known as the Dawes Act, aimed to assimilate Native Americans into American society by allotting them individual plots of land, typically 160 acres, while the remaining tribal lands were sold to non-Native settlers. The act sought to break up communal tribal landholding and promote individual farming, but it ultimately resulted in significant loss of Native American land and culture. Many Native Americans were unprepared for the responsibilities of land ownership, leading to a loss of their traditional ways of life and further marginalization. The act is often seen as a key factor in the decline of Native American sovereignty and land rights.
