The correct answer is B) Actions should be taken to assimilate Native Americans into American society.

The Dawes Act was a law passed in 1887 that changed Native American life forever. One condition was that the US government was going to split up Native American land into 150 acre parcels that each family would control. From there, their goal was to have these individuals assimilate into US culture by becoming self-sufficient farmers.

Another way the Dawes Act tried to assimilate Native Americans was by the creation of Indian Boarding Schools. Native American children would attend these schools to learn English and learn more about US customs.
