Cherokee children were prohibited from speaking their own language in communal schools set up by the federal government during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The US federal government unilaterally closed and seized Cherokee governmental and public institutions through the 1898 Curtis Act, the Dawes Act and the 1906 Five Civilized Tribes Act. The Dawes Commission was tasked to force assimilation and break up tribal governments by instilling the concept of land ownership with individual members of the Five Civilized Tribes. The commission divided large sections of land into tribal allotments in an effort to eliminate the traditional governments of the Cherokee, which at that time were based on a communal form of government with the lands being controlled by the tribal government. The US government appointed Cherokee "chiefs" to administer tribal lands and holdings.
