Why did treaties between the US and native American Indian fail to make peace in the plain of the united state?
Many of the treaties were never meant to be honored by the US government, but just made to 'pacify the savages'. It can certainly be argued, however, that those negotiating the treaties meant them to be honored. The biggest problem was that none of the treaties was ever ratified by Congress, so therefore in the eyes of the government, the treaties were invalid. Then there was the issue of who would see to their enforcement if the whites were to break the treaties.
What promises to the native Americans did the government break?
The simplest answer is all of them. To date there is no single "promise" (treaty obligation) given by the United States that has been honored.

What pieces of legislation served to break off the communal nature of Native American land ownership?
Native American groups were communal and Americans were very individualistic. The federal government sought to break Native Americans of their communal nature and force them to assimilate with the Dawes Severalty Act of 1887. The Act gave citizenship and 160 acres of land to the heads of households of individual Native American families or 80 acres to single adults or orphans. Adults could not gain full title to the property for 25 years. The Bureau of Indian affairs even sent Native American children to boarding schools to force assimilation.
Why did the Choctaw did not want to sign the treaties that included schools to help them assimilate?
They knew that the government would break the treaties and they didn't want to assimilate into a world where they still would be discriminated against and treated unequally. When the children went to the schools they were not allowed to speak their language, practice culturally, nor dress in native dress. Once there they were not allowed to go home and they stayed until they were 21. By that time they were neither Native American nor part of the white society. Your question reads as if you think they should have signed the treaties I suggest you read the book BLACK ELK SPEAKS.
