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.
