History

lesya [120]3 years ago

They wanted to present them as if they were gods. This was quite common in history and is a reason for example why pharaohs got pyramids built in their honor. The giant heads depicted their leaders as gods or someone who is in general larger than life itself. It was a sign of respect and others who would visit would also see this and know who they are dealing with. Such heads can still be found and examined which is important when trying to understand their ancient culture.

What were the consequences of the dawes act
san4es73 [151]
<span>The cause of the Dawes Act was the complete takeover of most of the land of the Native American Indians. Because of this, land belonged to entire tribes, but not individuals. The Dawes Act was created in 1887 to allow surveys of tribal lands and then division of it so that allotments could be given to individual Native American Indians. The Dawes Act was amended twice, both in 1891 and again in 1906. The effect of the Dawes Act was a complete breakdown of the Native American tribes and their traditional way of life. Only the richer clans or families were given land allotments of crop lands. This led to homelessness of many Native American Indians.</span>
