Explanation:

The law was passed in 1887, and it implied the protection of Indian land and the invocation of Indians in modern capitalist patterns. The law removed traditional elements of land management and introduced the possibility of forming private property. Bypassing the law, the American Indians accepted that laws were imposed on them that had never existed before in any tribal community in North America.
