Jacoby Henson · Answer 2

Correct answer choice is:

C) To strongly encourage American Indians to become farmers

Explanation:

The Dawes Act of 1887, empowered the President of the United States to inspect American Indian tribulation land and separate it into portions for particular Indians. Those who admitted portions and lived independently from the society would be given United States citizenship. The Dawes Act was revised in 1891, in 1898 by the Curtis Act, and newly in 1906 by the Burke Act.
