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.

what are the reasons for the lack of Indian unity in fighting Europeans was that the Indians were descended from different peopl
kap26 [50]

There's multiple reasons for the lack of unity between the Indian tribes against the European invasion and expansion on their territory. The Indians were divided into multiple groups, some of which had already had problems and bad blood between them, so alliances between tribes like that were not the first choice in mind. Also, the Europeans played well tactically, by promising some of the tribes certain things if they ally with them, so once the Europeans managed to get what they wanted they were turning against their Indian allies who were pretty much isolated bu that point because of their actions. The conquering of new territories by the Europeans also was very big factor, because they managed to cut the connections between the tribes, thus not allowing them to be able to create alliances and be united against them.
