Criticism
Angie Debo’s, Regardless the Waters Run: The betrayal of the Five Edified Clans (1940), guaranteed the designation strategy of the Dawes Go about (as later stretched out to apply to the Five Cultivated Clans through the Dawes Commission and the Curtis Demonstration of 1898) was deliberately controlled to deny the local Americans of their territories and resources. Ellen Fitzpatrick asserted that Debo’s book “high level a devastating investigation of the defilement, moral corruption, and crime that underlay White organization and execution of the distribution strategy.”
The Dawes Act (1887)
The Dawes Act was an important piece of legislation in American history. It was often called the General Allotment Act, which attempted to integrate Native American tribes into the country’s mainstream civilization. With the intention of encouraging private land ownership and agricultural methods, Senator Henry L. Dawes introduced a bill that attempted to divide up tribal property ownership and give individual pieces to Native American households. Its execution, however, was a sad chapter in the history of federal Indian policy and resulted in the eviction of millions of acres of Native American land, as well as long-lasting negative impacts on indigenous populations.
