This secondary source says the purpose of the act, it was suppose to civilize the Native American people, and also they just wanted to take the Native Americans land and sell it to the white settlers. Once the act was in place, and the Native American people were living on new land, it was not even their own land, the government owned the land, and was just letting them live on it.
