8 Feb 1887 Jahr - Dawes Severalty Act

Beschreibung:

The Dawes Severalty Act, passed in 1887, aimed to assimilate Native Americans into American society by dividing communal tribal land into individual allotments for Native American families. This act stripped Native Americans of their traditional lands and culture, ultimately leading to significant loss of tribal land to white settlers through sales forced by economic necessity.
