Conditional Governance (continued)-Crossing of Boundaries

For these considerations, one needs to go inside the individual's psyche, as an individual, as a group of functionals, as a group of pretexted people, be it made of the effort and effort of the external forces such as the government and ones as assimilated and acculurated team of members to the new society, namely the American system of governance.



Psychology, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, personal political theory, Native American history must be considered on a macroscale as well as microscale to resolutely come to grips what features we have at hand with the areas of concern.



Concern from the macroscale is something which must wait for action; rather the microscale considerations which include the intent and the drive behind each member of the acculturation procedures in order to measure affirmatively at least for the time being to get to know the person.



When one reflects the messages of the Acts such as the Dawes Act (R) the Language Act of 1990(R) one must keep a perspective the individual feeling and influence upon one's life that the U.S. Government had on the microscale as an individual, and macroscale as a group.



I will be reflecting on the personal Native American Indian as an individual within the context of his and her experience through time as his and her, as the environment changed as a consequence of the influences from somewhere outside of the sphere of control.



Specifically, the Dawes Act which was enacted February 8, 1887, caused a dramatic change in the ways of life for the Native American Indians in Oklahoma. Section One of this Act, which authorizes the "President to survey Native Americans tribal areas and divide the arable land into sections for the individual." From our perspectives, if may be important to think that the term "individual" may be a misnomer for or as a placement of "receiver" and that this receiver can be a member of the Federal government, for the current years as when the Act was enacted as well as times following; since the Act was amended in 1891 and in 1906 by the Burke Act (R).



The essence of the Act stated that the head of the Native American family may receive 160 acres if the lanld is "advantageous" for agricultural and grazing purposes.
