Answer 2

Even though there is no passage, the correct answer is US citizenship.

With the Dawes Act, it was the hope of the federal government that they would be able to assimilate these Native Americans into "normal" American society. The promise of land and citizenship were the first parts of changing Native American culture. With citizenship rights, these Native Americans would be entitled to the same liberties/responsibilities as other citizens including the right to vote, right to free speech, right to protest, etc.
