    The purpose of the Dawes Act (1887) was to force American Indians into assimilation by forcing them to live away from the tribe since they would own their land in person, not as a tribe.

    Another effect, probably intended was the decrease in the area of land owned by the American Indians, and the increase of the land available for the settlers.
