Where did the Dawes General Allotment Act take place?

The Dawes General Allotment Act took place in the United States, specifically affecting Native American lands. Enacted in 1887, the Act aimed to assimilate Native Americans into American society by allotting them individual plots of land, while the remainder of tribal lands was sold to non-Native settlers. This legislation primarily impacted tribes across the country, particularly in the Great Plains and Western states. The Act resulted in significant loss of tribal land and culture.
