Allotment of Native Lands under the Dawes Act Implementation
Allotment of Native Lands under the Dawes Act Implementation

The Dawes Act (1887) authorized the breakup of tribal lands into individual allotments, leading to the loss of over 90 million acres of Native land by 1934 [7]. By the 1890s, the policy was actively enforced, dismantling communal land ownership and forcing assimilation [7].
