NA Gilded Age

Key facts for the Gilded Age African American Civil Rights. A level OCR history,

TermDefinition
Dawes Act problems Tribes lost the majority of their land and began to be assimilated, causing Native Americans to lose their culture and self determination. Land was also given to the male head of the family (while some tribes were matriarchal)
Dawes Act benefits Native Americans had the opportunity to become landowners and full American citizens (although many did not want this).
Reservations problems Native Americans lost their freedom and were denied their civil rights, while their amount of land was slowly reduced over the period. The land was also poor quality and many sold their land after the allotment policy.
Reservations benefits Tribal customs could survive while farming communities could be established and better healthcare could be accessed. The Navajo tribe took up farming and increased their land from 4 million to 10.5 million acres, while their population increased.
Education problems There was poor education on the reservations, and many couldn't get jobs using the skills offered, forcing them back onto the reservations. Off-reservation boarding schools often resulted in entirely assimilation Native American children culturally.
Education benefits The boarding schools did provide some better jobs such as working for the Indian Agency Offices or the Army.
Subsidies problems Tribes became more reliant on government subsidies which were insufficient, particularly when they were cut so the government could divert spending to other issues.
Wounded Knee The Sioux tribe were massacred at Wounded Knee in 1890.
Battle of Little Bighorn The Native Americans won a victory against General Custer in the battle in 1876, which created a minority view that the conflict was because of poor treatment, but a majority view that the Native Americans were barbarians.
