[This date in American Indian History]
On this day in 1887, the Dawes Severalty Act (also known as the General Allotment Act) was signed into law by President Grover Cleveland. Under this act, Native American tribes' jointly held reservations were divided up into smaller units, which were then distributed to individual tribe members. The legislation, however, had a significant impact on tribal sovereignty, as it changed the legal status of Native Americans from tribal members to individuals who were subject to federal laws.

The Dawes Severalty Act aimed to assimilate American Indians into the country's agrarian culture. After a statutory period of 25 years, allotments could be sold, and any unallocated "surplus" land was made available to settlers. Within decades of the act's passage, the vast majority of tribal land in the West was in the hands of white settlers.
