1) Look at the student’s work.
Dawes Severalty Act |
The Dawes Severalyt Act was passed in 1887. This law was to authoriz the president to survy
Native American reservations and divid them into
160 acre farms.This act stripped Native Americans
of their rights. After recieving this land, Native Americans could not sell or
lease the land for 25 years. For reformers this law pushed Indians towaerd white civilazation, but
for for the western settlers it made Indian land
more available.The Dawes Act undermined the trible structure and culture of the Native americans. |
