Key Takeaways: * The Indian Appropriations Act of 1851 established the reservation system, aiming to dismantle Native culture and lifestyle, confined and controlled by U.S. policies. * Indian boarding schools, highlighted by the Carlisle and Fort Lewis Indian Schools, were tools of cultural erasure, where Native children were forcibly assimilated, losing language and cultural ties. * The Dawes Act of 1887 led to the fragmentation of tribal land and cultures, challenging traditional Native American lifestyles and furthering land theft. * The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 granted citizenship but undermined tribal sovereignty by imposing state and federal laws, which hindered traditional practices. * Despite these historical traumas, Native Americans demonstrate remarkable resilience, reclaiming languages and cultural practices, fostering healing and renewal.
