Washington Statehood | arrow_right_alt | In an effort to encourage ownership of land while also protecting native rights, Congressed passed this act. It gave natives a piece of land to own, but because of the difference of cultural values, this was not successful.

However, lands given to the natives were not good for farming. Also, natives could apply to become citizens once they got the land, but only if they gave up all of their rights and tribal ties. This led to encouragement of assimilation and the idea of bording schools where young native children learned the white ways. |
Nez Perce War | arrow_right_alt | Washington became a state in 1889 after multiple years of applying to the federal government. Washington drafted constitutions, met the required citizenship number, and established a school system. |
