===Provisions of the Burke Act===
The [[Burke Act]] of 1906<ref>{{cite web|url=http://digital.library.okstate.edu/kappler/Vol3/HTML_files/SES0181.html |title=Burke Act (34 Stat. 182) Chapter 2348, May 8, 1906. [H. R. 11946.] [Public, No. 149.] |access-date=2011-02-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110525124326/http://digital.library.okstate.edu/Kappler/Vol3/HTML_files/SES0181.html |archive-date=2011-05-25 }}</ref> amended the sections of the Dawes Act dealing with US Citizenship (Section 6) and the mechanism for issuing allotments. The Secretary of Interior could force the Native American Allottee to accept title for land. U.S. Citizenship was granted unconditionally upon receipt of land allotment (the individual did not need to move off the reservation to receive citizenship). Land allotted to Native Americans was taken out of Trust and subject to taxation. The Burke Act did not apply to any Native Americans in [[Indian Territory]].
