1) Look at the student’s work.
Dawes Severalty Act |
The Dawes Severalty Act was
named after Senator Henry Dawes in 1887. The act authorized the president to
survey Native American reservations and divide them into 160 acre farms which
could not be leased or sold for twenty-five years. This act undermined the
tribal structure and culture of the Native American. The significance of this
event was the end of Native American life and the start of whites to civilize
the Native American. |
