They were being herded farther west and into reservations which, in combination with the battles against settlers, killed major chunks of their populations

The Dawes act was an attempt to break up their tribal nations and steal their land

They were supposed to farm their allotted land but often it wasn’t fit to do so

# data[].attributes.body
They wanted to move west because they needed more land for farming and ranching but natives were already living there and they owned the land

# data[].attributes.body
They couldn’t open up more land for white settlers because natives owned it and were living on it so they decided to pass laws like the Dawes Act to make a profit off selling “surplus land”
