Dawes
Dawes is a surname, most notably associated with Charles Dawes (1865–1951), U.S.
Vice President under Calvin Coolidge and co-recipient of the 1925 Nobel Peace Prize for the Dawes Plan, which restructured Germany's World War I reparations.
The Dawes Act (1887) divided Native American tribal lands into individual allotments, aiming at assimilation but resulting in massive land loss.
