The Dawes Act of 1887 aimed to assimilate Native Americans into white - American society. To be granted citizenship, they were required to "adopt the practices of civilized life", which essentially meant assimilation to white culture. Moving to Oklahoma was not a condition for citizenship under this act. Maintaining traditional Native American customs was contrary to the act's goal of assimilation. Swearing total allegiance to the US President was not the main requirement for citizenship under the Dawes Act.
