The Dawes Act of 1887
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. In the past century
with the end of the warfare between the United States and Indian
tribes and nations, the United States of America continued its
efforts to acquire more land for the Indians. About this time
the government and the 'Indian reformers' tried to turn Indians
into Americans. A major aspect of this plan was the General
Allotment or Dawes Act of 1887 which ended in 1934. The long
term effects of the program were not as helpful as many had
planned it to be, and in fact the effects of poverty as a result
of this government interference can still be felt by the tribes
today. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
