One such law created by Congress was the Dawes Act aiming to “Americanize” the Native Americans. The act encouraged Indians to become farmers. However, the Indian belief system was contrary to that of whites. The Indians believed land could not be owned, it belonged to everyone. The act gave reservation families rights, privileges, and protections of other U.S. citizens but it also broke up reservations, giving some land to individual Native Americans, while selling the rest to settlers. This act allowed for industrialization, especially in the area of agriculture and railroads. Due to this act, by 1932 settlers had taken about two-thirds of the territory that had been set for Native Americans. The act took away the power of Native American leaders. In their place, it appointed government agents to make most decisions. Native Americans received no money from the sale of these lands. Different states treated their reservations and Native American population differently. Some states ensured that reservations had basic necessities of schools and opportunity for social and economic growth while other states did very little. Overall the U.S. federal government did little to aid the Native American Indian in their new placement, citing that the Indians needed to make their own opportunity.
