Question

what was the effect of the dawes act on native american tribes? it provided extra money to tribes because land in excess of 160 acres per family was sold it brought citizenship and equality to native americans it gave native americans the means to learn and benefit from farming it granted land to individual families, but reduced the land available to tribes

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Dawes Act aimed to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream American society by allotting land to individual families. However, the land "excess" (after allotment) was sold to non - Native Americans, reducing tribal land. It did not truly bring equality (as discrimination persisted), and the idea of Native Americans benefiting from farming in the way the act intended was often undermined. Also, the money from sold land did not go in a way that was truly beneficial to tribes in a positive, long - term sense as described in the first option.

Answer:

It granted land to individual families, but reduced the land available to tribes.
