The Dawes Act, 1887 had provided an opportunity for the native Americans to ensure that there would not be domination of the Indian tribes over unallotted/unreserved lands (Montoya et al., 2017). The individuality/individual capability of the members of the Indian tribes had been realized in this manner. There had been considerations for the Indian farmers because they had to earn a living to survive and support their families financially.
