Answer:
D) Push Native American to adopt an agricultural lifestyle
Explanation:
The Dawes Act was an act signed in 1887.
It allowed the government to break up reservation land into small allotments that were given to individuals. The Act aimed to insert Native Americans into the “American lifestyle” by forcing them to become farmers. If the Indians agreed to that, they became US citizens and were subjected to federal, state and local laws.
The problem was that Native Americans had a different lifestyle, some of them did not adjust to an agricultural existence. Also, some of the lands was not proper for farming, which caused poverty.
