| Compare the policies of the Indian Peace Commision of 1867 with the Dawes Act of 1887. |
|
Definition
Its answer was the "Peace Policy," which involved a reorganization of the Indian Service to address the "Indian problem." The goals of the policy were to place Indians on reservations, teach them the rudiments of Christianity and individualized farming, and eventually prepare them for citizenship. Religious men appointed by Congress would replace civil and military agents and oversee the implementation of the policy. One of the most prominent religious groups to influence the Peace Policy was the Society of Friends (Quakers); however, other denominations also participated in the "uplift of the Indians."
On June 20, 1867, Congress, in response to the growing concern over Indian affairs, created an Indian Peace Commission to investigate the conditions of the Indians.
The infamous Dawes Act of 1887 was the first such effort to protect Indian property rights during the Oklahoma Land Rush. By registering, Indians were told, they would be allotted 160 acres of land per family in advance of the Land Rush and thus be restituted for 100 years of genocide against them. |
