(A REAL NATIVE AMERICAN VIEW )
I think this answer is false. I believe that the Europeans along with other white settlers where trying to find a better place( which I believe everyone in those days were). Due to there evil heritage of the white man. His only way is to steal, rape, an torture poor Native Americans in their land. If you look back and notice the whites are a disgusting race. A few examples the brought diseases over here from being unclean. They had no respect for the land along with there kids. In the fact of the matter is Native Amercians were whipped out completely. We are told there is only 1 Percent of us left on this planet earth. i don't believe this. I think that the Gov. is scared we well go to war for this land again which by telling us how small we are will discourage us.
The presence of Native Americans in the southeast stood in the way of westward expansion of the United States
White southerners wanted the native americans 'Valuable land
The federal government had passed an act that designated the entire Great Plains as one enormous reservation, or land set aside for Native American tribes.
The goal of the federal government's policy towards Native American Indians was to rid them of land wanted by the U.S. in order to proceed with territorial expansion. They wanted to relocate the Indians to reservations much smaller than where they were now. They started the Indian Removal Act in order to do so.

No. The federal government had no right to take any Native American land.
the Americans as well as the American government wanted the land from the Native Americans. the American people wanted it because they measure prosperity and wealth by land, unlike the native Americans. the railroads also influenced the governments policy towards the native Americans. in 1834, the US government passed an act that designated that entire great plains as one enormous reservation (land set aside for NA)then again in 1850, the government changed its policy to open up more land for the whites. they began signing treaties and created definite boundaries for each tribe. the Native Americans, however, did not agree to sign any treaty with the government. this led to tragic results.... WAR! also, keep in mind that American wanted to get to California and Colorado because of the gold! California in 1849 and Colorado in 1858
