When Eisenhower signed legislation for tribal lands in hands of state and local governments in 1953?

Did he take all the Indian's land or just the land taken away from them from the Dawes act?When Eisenhower signed legislation for tribal lands in hands of state and local governments in 1953?
PL 280 took away federal protection of the tribes. So in effect, it was removing the Dawes Act and not replacing it with any federal rights for the tribal members on reservations and their lands. It wasn't until Nixon established self-determination that the tribes were able to protect their lands again.
