Best Answer

The Natives' Land Act of 1913 [1] was the first major piece of segregation legislation passed by the Union Parliament, and remained a cornerstone of Apartheid until the 1990's when it was replaced by the current policy of land restitution.

*This actually belongs in South African History-- as that's what it is. I'm not sure why it's under U.S. History.

There was also a Native Land Act in U.S. History that broke up the Native American's reservations into plots for each person/family to have for themselves, as an attempt to integrate them into the "white man's" culture. I'm not sure if the Act was passed in 1913 too, but i am positive it was around that time.

*You are referring to the Dawes Act, which was passed in 1887-- and was a terrible mistake, although generally good intentioned.
