The Dawes act affected American Indians by forcing tribes to relinquish their homelands and relocate to reservations, often hundreds of miles away. The goal was to assimilate Indians into western society (by force) and undermine Indian life and culture at its core by forcing individual Indians to own land for private use, instead of sharing it communally as they had done for centuries. I hope this helps!

The objective of the Dawes Act was to assimilate Native American Indians into mainstream US society by annihilating their cultural and social traditions. The land allotted to the Indians included desert or near-desert lands unsuitable for farming. In addition, the techniques of self-sufficient farming were much different from their tribal way of life. Many Indians did not want to take up agriculture, and those who did want to farm could not afford the tools, animals, seed, and other supplies necessary to get started. There were also problems with inheritance. Often young children inherited allotments that they could not farm because they had been sent away to boarding schools. Multiple heirs also caused a problem; when several people inherited an allotment, the size of the holdings became too small for efficient farming.

Explain some of the ways that war affected women
Vadim26 [7]
Women raise children and have to watch them go off into war which is obviously hard. Also women had to raise children and take care of farms while their husbands were away. Some women were used as spies. Women were probably devastated when their husbands die or grateful and happy if or when they returned. I hope this answers your question because I'm kind of confused on exactly what you're asking. :)
