This map was drawn by Paul Brodie in 1885 for the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, John D. C. Atkins. Brodie’s map shows the size and shape of reservations in 1885. By 1890, most Indian tribes had been subdued and placed on a reservation either in their traditional homelands or in an area new to them. Many reservations were reduced in size under the provisions of the 1887 Dawes Act (General Allotment Act). which became law in 1887 and allowed the federal government to assign, or allot, parcels of land to individual Indian families and to open the remaining unallotted lands to settlers.
