Answer 1

The correct answer is B) They created new treaties and reservations that defined specific boundaries for each tribe

Step-by-step explanation:

One of such acts which was used to reallocate the Native American Land was the General Allotment (Dawes) Act of 1887.

It gave permission to the Federal Government to modify the size and ownership structure of land belonging to the Native Americans. The end result was that the total amount of land originally belonging to the Native Americans reduced drastically over the next 500 years.
