Answer:

The Dawes Act was disastrous for Native Americans. By 1934, Indian-held land had dropped from 138 million acres to 48 million acres. Almost half of the remaining Indian-owned land was inappropriate for farming. Under the Dawes Act, individuals and families received between 80 and 320 acres for farming and ranching.
