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.

jfc water is so busted in TCG Pocket
IF YOU BALANCE THE WHOLE GAME AROUND WAITING TO BUILD ENERGY AND THEN MAKE IT SO ONE TYPE SKIPS THE WAIT MUCH QUICKER AND MORE EASILY THAN OTHERS THEN YOU UNBALANCED THE GAME
I haven't played pokepoke but I watched a spragels vid calling out this exact thing. If they removed or nerfed Misty, would that help towards balance?
Largely, yes. Misty is the most egregious element of it. There are other ways the water type can generate extra energy, but some other types have similar methods, and others don't need the extra energy as much.
But yeah Misty is dumb as fuck, you can play her and with even a meager amount of luck instantly kill your opponent on turn 1 - if that's not busted, nothing is. I wonder why half the fucking decks I play against are water decks.
