Answer:
The Indian Appropriations Act of 1885 was a law passed by the United States Congress that allowed Indian tribes and individual Indians to receive funds for various purposes. The act was passed after several attempts by the Oklahoman Boomers to enter Indian Territory. The Major Crimes Act was also passed in 1885 as the final section of the Indian Appropriations Act, which placed certain crimes under federal jurisdiction if they were committed by a Native American in Native territory. The act was the focal point of the Supreme Court case McGirt v. Oklahoma, which found that nearly half of the state of Oklahoma had not been disestablished as a Native.
