example of the lands lost due to the dawes act
The Dawes Act of 1887 was a post-Indian Wars law that illegally dissolved 90 million acres of Native lands from 1887 to 1934. Signed into law by President Grover Cleveland on February 8, 1887, the Dawes Act expedited the cultural genocide of Native Americans. The negative effects of the Dawes Act on Indigenous tribes would result in the enactment of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, the so-called βIndian New Deal.β
It authorized the U.S. to divide indigenous tribal land into allotments for heads of families and individuals, leading to a loss of 2/3rds of land (~100 million acres) over the next 50 years.
The law converted traditional systems of land tenure into a state-imposed system of private property by forcing Native Americans to "assume a capitalist and proprietary relationship with property" that did not previously exist in their cultures, according to historian Kent Blansett. The act declared remaining lands after allotment as "surplus" and available for sale, including to non-Natives.
Between 1887 and 1934, indigenous people lost control of about 100 million acres of land, or about two-thirds of the land base they held in 1887, as a result of the act.
The loss of land and the break-up of traditional leadership of tribes had such devastating consequences that many scholars refer to the Dawes Act as one of the most destructive U.S. policies for indigenous people in history.

Gotta be real, if you do this on a big enough amount of space and just keep doing with a small pen until everything is more or less filled in, you end out with something you can sell. I have.
Haha, I will probably make more of these, they are fun little ways to revisit my book while I am putting a teaser of it on some public places
If you like it perhaps considering giving the author of the book one million dollars?
If I had a minion let alone millions to spare there wouldn't news to be a mutual aide board, it would be my DMs. You'd have the milli
(thank you for the compliment)
If you take what you have as sorta you leading lines and have some smaller line black pens, just kinda go zen garden with it and fill in around those lines. I'll often start a drawing with pretty much what you did, just sorta some curves and shapes and then I kinda fill in stuff until it's a picture. I can draw with a plan but a lot of my more well received stuff had been more that style. I've been told it reminds people of looking at the grain in wood flooring and sorta seeing images in the pattern or saying what a cloud looks like. I'm literally just drawing a few thick curvy lines in neat intersections and then doing pen shading techniques however it strikes my fancy and months later it's a picture.
Hmm, that doesn't sound impossible tbh, like just filling the empty space with psychedelia. That's so in
It's pretty fun. Nick Blinko was the dude I was originally ripping off. His better art is independent of it but he played guitar and sang in one of my favorite bands ever Rudimentary Peni.
