Question 28 • OK-Oklahoma History

Which of the following acts of Congress was responsible for the creation of the Dawes Commission?

Answer
A
the Dawes Act of 1887
B
the Indian Appropriation Bill of 1893
C
the Curtis Act of 1898
D
the Dawes Act Amendment of 1901

Explanation

The Dawes Commission was created by the Indian Appropriation Bill of 1893 to negotiate with the Five Tribes over the allotment of their lands. The Dawes Act of 1887 dealt with allotment policy more broadly, but it did not establish the commission. Therefore, the correct choice is the Indian Appropriation Bill of 1893.
