The Indian Land Consolidation Act is a U.S. law enacted in 1934 aimed at consolidating fragmented land holdings of Native American tribes and individuals, with the intent to improve the management and economic productivity of these lands. By allowing tribes to consolidate their lands, the Act sought to address the issues of land ownership fragmentation that arose from earlier policies such as the Dawes Act, which allotted individual parcels to Native Americans, leading to a loss of communal land.
