The Dawes Severalty Act of 1887, passed by Congress in the wake of the publication of Helen Hunt Jackson's A Century of Dishonor, took what stance toward the reservation system? It granted Native Americans U.S. citizenship and specified other civil rights that they would be guaranteed. It sought to "Americanize" Indians by forcing them to become self-reliant farmers that individually owned their own land. It gave each Native American tribe up to 520 acres of land and provided a production quota, often well beyond what the land could sustain. It sought to grant Native Americans larger reservations because of the details in the book on broken government promises and treaties.
