Answer:

<u>Integration of Indians in American society</u>

Explanation:

The federal government has almost adopted an act that has further damaged India's interests even more fundamentally. Dawes Act of 1887 intended, to assist the Indians by staying on their land and integrating them into American society. This had a very different effect.

The act laid down the conditions that would give back to the Indians their common rights to their tribal land and instead individual estates of 160 acres (the value of the land was granted by white settlers). Any surplus land in the territory will be sold, and the proceeds will go to the tribes.

This plan was doomed to fail over a short period of time because it was impossible for hunters and warriors to quickly transform into farmers. In the long run, this had the effect of giving the Indians about two-thirds of the 138 million acres of land reserved for them. The energy with which white settlers ransacked free land is clearly evident in Native American territory, first on the reserves.
