What was the dawes sereralty act of 1887

The Dawes Act of 1887 authorized the President of the United States to survey Native American tribal land and divide it into allotments for individual Native Americans.

This act allowed the president to divide native American territories into allotments for only individual native families. This means that each native American who accepted would live sperately on their own land and would be granted citizenship. This was an attempt to raise the natives out of poverty which failed miserably because most natives did not receive enough land for agriculture nor did they have the money, tools, or experience to farm because farming wasn't as popular with the Indians.

the dust bowl, otherwise known as the dirty thirties, was a huge dust storm that killed multiple (and i mean  multiple) farmer's crops, leaving them homeless, and foodless, and jobless. in california, there were 5.7 million residents, and the population shrank as mexicans were repatriated. however, when the dustbowl happened, a lot of people began to move to california. by 1940, 250,000 people had arrived. therefore, your answer would be  the population increased, massively.  i hope this !
