LAD #21

LAD #21-Dawes Act

This act is about how the Native Americans were surveyed by Senator Dawes and the laws that they Native Americans must abide by and restrictions they must life with from each day forward. The act proved to be overestimated because the amount of land was far less than estimated. It was also very harsh toward the Native Americans, forcing them to pack up and move their lives. The government ordered and restricted the land amounts allowed to Native Americans and used the lands that were previously used by the Native Americans for various governmental purposes that are also linked to the growing imperalistic ideas of the time and the feeling of needing control and conquering over others.
