Answer:

The Dawes Act was passed by Congress on February 8, 1887, regulating the distribution of land to Native Americans, in the Indian Territory that will become Oklahoma in 1907. It carries the name of the Massachusetts senator Henry L. Dawes, his principal initiator. The law was amended in 1891 and in 1906 by the Burke Act. It remained in use until 1934.

Explanation:

The law pursued two main objectives: Firstly, the community structure of the Indians was to be broken and the Indians thus integrated into American society. The Indians should become farmers. As such, according to official opinion, they would need far less land than they claimed for their traditional non-sedentary lifestyle as hunters and gatherers. The Indians themselves fought mostly against a life as a farmer, especially those of the northern Plains. These saw the farm work as unworthy and restrictive. Another advantage of the parcelling saw the government in the thus liberated surplus land, which they could sell at a profit to whites. Overall, the Indians lost thereby 36 million hectares of a total of 55 million hectares in 1887.

One afternoon, over a couple of cold beers, Charles tells Mark that he may have a right-of-way to cross his land so that Mark ca
Ratling [72]

Likely rule against Mark.

Mark and Charles had an oral agreement over a few years and nothing was put into writing. This would trigger the statute of frauds, wherein certain types of agreements are required to be memorialized in writing.

This means that there is a situation in which two people are having to be taken at their word. On top of that, the agreement was made while they were impaired.

If a court didn't rule against Mark at the outset, there would be an investigation into whether the agreement was enforceable, how impaired they were, whether anyone else heard them, and what the historic uses were but there isn't enough time for a prescriptive easement or adverse possession. But this is likely a summary judgment case based on statute of frauds.
