Answer:

Dawes Acts was enacted into law in 1887, purposely to make native Americans, true Americans, by redistributing tribal lands to individual owners. Assimilation policy of Dawes failed because of the following reasons:

(1) The government didn't support the assimilation policy.

(2) The Natives of American are not interested in property own by individual.
