Question

mod-fall final part i
the passage of the dawes act in 1887 was-
limit the power of the bureau of indian affairs
return eastern land to native american indian tribes
to assimilate the native americans into american culture

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Dawes Act of 1887 aimed to assimilate Native Americans into American culture by allotting individual plots of reservation land to Native Americans, with the goal of breaking up tribal communities and promoting European - American - style farming and landownership. The first option is incorrect as the Dawes Act was not about limiting the Bureau of Indian Affairs' power. The second option is incorrect as it did not return eastern land to Native American tribes; instead, it often led to loss of tribal lands.

Answer:

To assimilate the Native Americans into American culture
