Indian General Allotment Act
Définition
- The Dawes Act or General Allotment Act of 1887 provides both for the allotment of lands on tribal reservations to members of those tribes, and for equal protection under the laws of the United States for Native Americans both on and off those reservations. This act institutionalizes normative American society in contrast to traditional Native American societies and reifies the gendered preference of males as heads of households and as property owners.
