The US government was hostile to native Americans throughout the 18th, and 19th centuries. It had a policy of protecting it own citizens at all costs. As a result, when settlers would move into an area inhabited by Indians, fighting would ensue, and this almost always lead to the Native Americans being pushed back into an ever decreasing amount of land. Many Indians were killed outright, by disease, war, and famine. Others assimilated into American society, and became American citizens.

This was due to programs to integrate them into US society. Sadly, so many "treaties" the Federal government made with various Native Tribes were broken by the Federal government. For the most part, the Native Americans in both North & South America suffered badly under the governments that previously were "European" governments.
