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.

Consider the following statement: The support of non-Native Alaskans was an important factor leading to the settlement of Alaska
hichkok12 [17]

Answer: Yes. The support of non-Native Alaskans was an important factor which lead to the settlement of Alaska Native land claims. It is consistent with the evidence presented in this learning block.

Explaination:

The non-Natives Alaskans knew how the Natives Alaskans were dealt with in the Southeastern United States. They learnt from their mistakes so took a different approach when dealing with the natives from Alaska. The U.S. Courts were more sympathetic towards the natives due to past history. The federal government was in favor to help the native which was not so in the past.
