to assimilate Indians into white culture
the Dawes General Allotment Act.
KALABAW IS GOOD
The Dawes Act was created in Massachusetts. The Dawes Act, adopted by Congress in 1887, authorized the President of the United States to survey Indian tribal land and divide the land into allotments for individual Indians. The Act was named for its sponsor, Senator Henry L. Dawes of Massachusetts. The Dawes Act was amended in 1891 and again in 1906 by the Burke Act. The stated objective of the Dawes Act was to stimulate assimilation of Indians into American society. Individual ownership of land was seen as an essential step. The act also provided that the government would purchase Indian land excess to that needed for allotment and open it up for settlement by non-Indians.
Congress effectively repudiated the Dawes Severalty Act of 1887 through the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934. This act aimed to reverse the assimilation policies of the Dawes Act by promoting tribal self-governance and restoring some degree of autonomy to Native American tribes. It ended the allotment of tribal lands and allowed tribes to establish their own governments, thereby recognizing their rights to self-determination.
