Conclusion In any Native American tribes, one of the core principle values is that every member works together, which integrates the tribe. When the American settlers and Henry Dawes created the Dawes Act, it destroyed the idea of togetherness and encouraged the idea of individual success and prosperity. Through the reeducation process of the children and stripping of their cultural identity, many Native American tribes disbanded and no longer identify with their tribe or the culture. In present day, the existing Native American tribes that live on reservations have tried to reinvigorate their tribes by creating language learning programs to teach the tribal languages so that the younger members can learn the native languages of their ancestors.
