Thank you for a clear explanation of the Dawes Act. More people need to learn about the impact on indigenous communities and how it was really just a land grab.

It divided the community. That was the point of doing it. The last decade of the 1800s and 1900s saw the U.S. impose the concept of private land ownership which had previously not existed among the Choctaw and Chickasaw.

The purpose of the Dawes Act and Commission was to detribalize Indian tribes while pretending to strengthen the tribes. The secret to the conspiracy was the whole concept of "Blood Quantim". A tribe is a family! There's no such thing as a 1/64th family member. That's why I embrace the Cherokee rejection of Blood Quantim as a criteria for tribal membership. Conversely I also reject tribal membership as a definition of who is a Cherokee. The Cherokees recognize that there are thousands of "Cherokees by blood" who are not members of the tribe. Although, I have relatives that are listed on the Dawes Role I'm not interested in tribal membership being part of the family is enough. The US government defined as Indian as a person living with a tribe on a reservation. A melanated person living off the reservation claiming their indigenous ancestry could be killed on sight. This is the reason that many indians began identifying as negroes. In other cases the government reclassified melanated Indians as negroes, colored or black.

It’s called revolution, just like the highland Scottish, native America couldn’t continue the tribal life…it’s called evolution

I find it to be informative. Not the most exciting, but definitely makes good connections between systemic attempts to steal land and culture.

File this under “how we got to where we are today”. The people who write laws may die but the legislation they pass lives on to cause problems for future generations.
