Question

The Dawes Act was part of ___________.

A: Homestead Act.
B: a claim for a gold mine.
C: the Americanization Plan.
D: a treaty to allow the Sioux privileges to hunt buffalo on their land.

Answer 1

the Americanization Plan, or assimilation. The US wanted to give Native Americans land and try to make them follow US culture. A is false because the Homestead Act was established in the 1900's while the Dawes Act was in the late 1800's. D is also false, usually Americans would take over other Native American lands to hunt and B is also false because Daws ACt relates to land allotment, not gold mining
