The Dawes Act of 1887 aimed to assimilate Native Americans into American society by allotting them individual plots of land, effectively breaking up communal tribal holdings. Each Native American family was given a specific parcel of land, while the surplus was sold to white settlers. The Act sought to encourage farming and individual land ownership, reflecting a broader policy of reducing Native American cultural identities and promoting Western ideals of land use. Ultimately, it resulted in significant loss of tribal land and contributed to the erosion of Native American cultures.
