Which act aimed to promote the revival of Native American culture and organization?

The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 was designed specifically to promote the revival of Native American culture and self-governance. This act aimed to reverse some of the damage caused by previous policies, such as the Dawes Severalty Act, which had encouraged the allotment of tribal lands to individuals and led to significant loss of communal land and cultural identity.

The Indian Reorganization Act sought to restore some degree of self-determination to Native American tribes by allowing them to establish their own governments, manage their own lands, and develop their cultural practices without the interference of the federal government. It provided funding for education and economic development, all aimed at enhancing the resilience and continuity of Native American traditions and societies.

In contrast, the other acts mentioned did not share this intention. The Homestead Act promoted westward expansion by offering land to settlers, while the Dawes Severalty Act systematically dismantled tribal landholdings to assimilate Native Americans into American society. The Native American Rights Act, while addressing subsequent rights and issues, did not have the explicit focus on cultural revival as seen in the Indian Reorganization Act.
