Detailed explanation-1: -Only the Native Americans who accepted the division of tribal lands were allowed to become US citizens. This ended in the government stripping over 90 million acres of tribal land from Native Americans, then selling that land to non-native US citizens.
Detailed explanation-2: -Under the Dawes Severalty Act of 1887, the U.S. broke up Native American reservations and gave Native American families homesteads to farm. Homesteaders were required to live on their land for twenty-five years and were required to give up their Native American traditions.
Detailed explanation-3: -By the time the US passed the Dawes Act in 1887, there was very little land left. The Dawes Act was directly responsible for the loss of 90 million acres of Native American land, effectively abolishing tribal self-governance and forcing assimilation.

The effect of the Dawes Act broke up cultural beliefs and traditions by further splitting up the Native Americans and it forcibly assimilated them into U.S. society to strip them of their own cultural heritage.
