The primary goal of the Dawes Act was **4. to encourage Native Americans to become farmers**. The Dawes Act, passed in 1887, aimed to assimilate Native Americans into American society by allotting them individual plots of land for farming, with the intention of promoting a more agrarian lifestyle. It sought to break up communal tribal lands and reduce the influence of tribal governments.
