Question

Match the following.

Answer 1

The correct options are as follows: 
1. DAWES ACT: The government would not allow tribes to hold property communally.
Dawes Act was put in place in America in 1887 and it gave authority to the federal government to break up tribal lands that belong to the Indian native americans and divide them into individual plots. This was done in order to prevent the native Americans from owning land communally. Those that agreed to the arrangement become American citizens.

2. CURTIS ACT: The government dissolved tribal government. 
Curtis Act was enacted in 1898 and it was an amendment to Dawes Act. The Act further weaken the control of the native Americans over lands by transferring the authority to determine tribal membership from the native tribes to the Dawes commission, thus, abolishing tribal government.

3. SPRINGER ACT: Tribes lost their claim to the unassigned lands.
Springer Act makes provision for the placing of unassigned land of the Indian tribes in the territory of the pubic domain. This Act led to the opening of the unassigned lands to settlement. The Act was proposed by William Springer, who was a USA representative from Illinois.
