Why do you think the assimilation policy of the dawes act failed?

The Dawes Act was implemented in the United States in 1887, with the goal of dividing up Native American lands so that individuals would live separately from their tribes, thus becoming US citizens. The overall goal of the act was to assimilate Native Americans into European American culture. However, it did not work. Native Americans continued to carry on their beliefs, and passed them down from generation to generation.

How did the Dawes Act change the traditional way of life for Native Americans?

It is called the 'Dawes Act' or the 'Five Civilized Tribes', name after an American soldier (general or something) who basically tricked five tribes into signing away their rights and lands as Native Americans. I believe you will have to "google" "The Dawes Act" to get dates and specific details. All I know personally is that five related tribes wanted to be accepted into 'white, American society, and were promised that if they would renounce their heritages they would be considered "white" by the American government, with all of it's rights and benefits and social status. So when the tribes signed this treaty, as I'm sure you can imagine, they lost all of their rights and properties (and lands), to be considered 'civilized Indians'. They were then run off of their land and some even off of their reservations.I am 1/4 Native American; grandmother was a full-blooded Chickasaw Indian, covered under this 'Dawes Act", so her family's names were put on a list, and now the Bureau of Indian Affairs won't help my father get any of his rights and benefits because they were all signed away.There is hope, because if you have this problem, you can find some one with legal knowledge to get your family's rights back. I have a friend whose acted as a paralegal and got her husbands rights back, and hie was only 1/8 Native American.
