The IRA was mostly helpful because it ended the breakup of tribal land.

Rationale: The Indian Reorganization Act (1934) reversed the Dawes allotment policies, halted further parceling of reservation land into individual allotments, encouraged tribes to regain and manage communal land, and promoted tribal self-government—though it had limits and mixed outcomes in practice.
