Answer 1

Divided tribal lands into parcels is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dawes Act was a law passed in 1887 passed by Senator Henry Dawes from Massachusetts, it divided the land of Native Americans and the compensation was paid to the individual Native Americans instead of whole tribe. This law allowed the federal government to divide the reservations and distribute it among the natives individually. The law aimed at breaking the attachment of Native Americans with their tribes and blending them into white American society. The native American had to wait for 25 years for getting ownership of land. Each individual got 40 to 160 Acres of land which they were not allowed to sell. Later the law was revised and the federal government was allowed to decide if the Native was ready for taking over the land before the waiting period.
