Answer:
The Dawes Act of 1887, affected the relationship between private property rights and the settlement of the Great Plains by distributing native reservation lands to individual owners.
Step-by-step explanation:
In 1887, the introduction of the Dawes Act by the government of the United States led to a massive change in the property rights of citizens, especially to Native Americans. It became the main issue for both sides to try to come to terms with the change in the nation but at the same time, discriminate against the tribes of the Native Americans.
This Act authorizes the government to take the land reserves of the Natives and give it out for individual ownership, with the condition that only those who accept these lands be considered as legal American citizens. This way, they can ensure that the Native Americans are 'assimilated' into the American culture and also 'annihilate' their 'tribal' practices and make them 'civilized'/ 'one of them'.
