Dawes Act
February 8, 1887
Enacted in 1887, the Dawes Act dealt with the Native American population and their reservations, and allowed them land in said reservations for agricultural and grazing purposes, so long as they were surveyed. The treaty allotted land to any head-on-family Indians and for the most part were to be used for the grazing of livestock. The allotments allowed under this act were to be selected by the Indians withing their families, with the head dividing allotted land between their children. The government agents setting up these allotments were to be in charge of following the rules and regulations as created by the Secretary of the Interior as approved by the President. The land unclaimed or simply not granted to the Indians would then be used for the settlement by non-Indian citizens, as seen fit by the United States government. The Secretary of the Interior could lawfully negotiate with an Indian tribe to purchase land given to them so long as the agreement followed the treaty the reservation was held under, and the Native American tribe could consent to sell on certain conditions, yet the purchase would not be complete unless ratified by Congress. The tribe could maintain religious or educational work within a hundred and sixty acre tract as long as it conformed with the society and was approved by the Secretary of the Interior. This act would not extend to the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, or to even the Seneca Indians of New York, but rather simply pertain to the Native American tribes within Oklahoma. Under the provisions of this act, one hundred thousand dollars would be spent by the Treasury for surveying the land to be allotted, and would be repaid from the sales of land acquired by the Indians. This act would also not allow for the removal of the Southern Ute Indians in Southwestern Colorado to a new reservation without the consent of a majority of the adult men in the tribe.
