B. Educate Native American youth
C. Give Native American's rights to natural resources
D. Stop whites from marrying Native Americans

The correct answer is A. Destroy traditional Native American life

Explanation:

The purpose of the Dawes Act approved in 1887 was to give each Native American Indian family their own land by dividing the land owned by all the tribe. The issue with this policy was that it forced tribes to abandon their traditional life and values, which included the idea the tribe owned all the land and resources in it; also, because of this all members of the tribe contributed to the community and shared with others. On the other hand, by diving the territory the community values were lost as wells as traditional gatherings. This implies indirectly the purpose of this act was to weaken tribes and "destroy traditional Native American life".
