To assimilate Native Americans to white culture. Dawes Act was also a factor.
Act of Contrition - Battlestar Galactica - was created on 2004-11-08.
No. The Confederation of Canada was created by the British North American Act of 1867. Before that there was a province of Canada.
The British North America Act (BNA Act) was the legislation, passed by the British Parliament, which created Canada on July 1, 1867. Canada was the very first country to be created by legislation.
Your question does not make much sense. The BNA Act was an enactment of the Imperial Parliament at Wesminster. The Act is a major part of Canada's Constitution. It created Canada as a federation of the former Province of Canada with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The former Province of Canada was divided into Ontario (previously Upper Canada) and Quebec (previously Lower Canada). The BNA Act provided for the division of legislative powers between the federal and provincial governments in sections 91 and 92. To say that laws were 'created' in the BNA Act is incorrect. Please rephrase your question.
The answer would be the Dawes Severalty Act.
National Industrial Recovery Act

The Dawes Severalty Act of 1887 allowed the President of the United to divide Indian trial land into allotments for individual Indians. Those leaving away from the tribe would be granted U.S. citizenship.
The Dawes Severalty Act of 1887 was the division of Native American land that was then given to individual Native Americans. The Act remained in effect until it was amended by the Burke Act in 1906.
The primary purpose of the Dawes Severalty Act was to promote Indian assimilation. The act was created by a Senator from Massachusetts named Henry Laurens Dawes.

the Dawes Severalty Act (1887)
The Dawes Severalty Act of 1887 allotted pieces of lands to Native Americans. The word "severalty" implies that the U.S. wanted to treat the Native Americans as individuals, rather than members of tribes. However, this act was put into effect in response to pressure from buffalo hunters who wanted unlimited access to buffalo herds. Therefore, the Dawes Act is yet another example of the exploiting nature of the U.S. government.
