Question

Based on the passage, in addition to land, what other benefits could native americans receive from the dawes act? u.s. citizenship the right to vote protection from warring tribes immunity from prosecution in court

Answer 1

Even though there is no passage, the correct answer is US citizenship.

With the Dawes Act, it was the hope of the federal government that they would be able to assimilate these Native Americans into "normal" American society. The promise of land and citizenship were the first parts of changing Native American culture. With citizenship rights, these Native Americans would be entitled to the same liberties/responsibilities as other citizens including the right to vote, right to free speech, right to protest, etc.

Answer 2

And every Indian born within the territorial limits of the United States to whom allotments shall have been made under the provisions of this act, or under any law or treaty, and every Indian born within the territorial limits of the United States who has voluntarily taken up, within said limits, his residence separate and apart from any tribe of Indians therein, and has adopted the habits of civilized life, is hereby declared to be a citizen of the United States, and is entitled to all the rights, privileges, and immunities of such citizens, whether said Indian has been or not, by birth or otherwise, a member of any tribe of Indians within the territorial limits of the United States without in any manner affecting the right of any such Indian to tribal or other property

THIS is the passage^^^^^^^^
