What was a primary outcome of the Dawes Severalty Act?

There were many outcomes of the Dawes Severalty Act, mostly negative—especially for Native Americans. The Dawes Act allowed the president of the United States (Grover Cleveland at the time) to divide the land previously designated as Native tribal territories. At the time, the five tribes recognized by the United States government were Chickasaw, Chocktaw, Muscogee, Seminole, and Cherokee. Allotting land to individuals instead of tribes was an effort to barter freedom for profit. The land allotments again disrupted the Native American way of life by prohibiting free movement throughout territories.
In effect, the primary outcomes of the Dawes Act were: abolishing communal property among tribes, limiting tribal interaction, and forcing Native Americans to assimilate into the American lifestyle that had spread across the continent. The Dawes Rolls, a registry of all residents of Indian territories and their tribal designation, are used today to determine tribal heritage.
