Question

why did many native american tribes dislike the dawes act of 1887, which aimed to change their way of life to match new american customs? it outlawed the farming of land. it stopped them from trading with settlers. it forced them to give up their culture. it offered them jobs in cities.

Explanation:

The Dawes Act of 1887 was a U.S. federal law that aimed to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream American society. It did this by dividing communal tribal lands into individual plots for Native American families. This process disrupted traditional Native American social and cultural structures. Native American tribes had a collective - based culture where land was often held and used communally. The act forced them to adopt an individual - land - ownership model which was foreign to their cultural norms. It also required them to "prove" their ability to farm (in a European - American sense) to keep the land, which was a cultural imposition.

Answer:

It forced them to give up their culture.
