THE DAWES COMMISSION AND THE ALLOTMENT OF THE FIVE CIVILIZED TRIBES, 1893-1914 by: Kent Carter Media: Book 1998, 81/2x11, paper, 300 pp In 1893 Congress authorized an organization that became known as the Dawes Commission. Its purpose was to end self-government of the so-called Five Civilized Tribes -- the Cherokees, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, and Seminoles.This was an essential first step in a policy of allotment -- allotting land to each individual Indian -- that was supposed to promote their assimilation into the dominant culture. This book will provide anyone interested in how the allotment policy was implemented with a better understanding of the complex issues involved and how the records were created and used.
