The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Compare and Contrast the words of the song to the views of U.S. Government officials of the late 1800s and early 1900s and with the text of the Dawes Act.

Ok, first we have to say the m¿name of the song that is going to be compared. It is "Don't Drink that Water," performed by David Mattews Band.

Part of the lyrics says the following<em>."What were you expecting? Not room for both. Jus room for me....Yes, I will call this home...You have been banished..."</em>

This song can be compared to the Dawes Act in that this act broke up the Native tribes to support the "Americanization" of the Native Indians and the settling of the white Americans in their territories.

It was Massachusetts legislator Henry Dawes who supported the Dawes Act in 1887, a piece of legislation known as the General Allotment Act.
