Basically, the colonists (see Kit Carson) stole their land. They forced thousands of native americans west (Trail of Tears) and introduced new, foreign deseases, which killed off many more natives because their immune systems have never had to deal with them before. Now, there are reservations in which no white man may live. If you are a certain amount native american, you can get a lot of things, like scholarships and stuff. It is a way of us paying them back.

∙ 6y agoThe land was taken by the colonists. They came from an old world where fences and kings claimed lands and could be hung if found poaching on the kings land. The new world was empty as far as they were concerned. There was an abundance of resources and they made themselves at home. The attitude towards Native Americans was they didn't count nor have any rights to the lands.

Why did Cherokee Indians kill so many colonists?
Considering how poorly treated the Cherokee were by colonists in georgia and other surrounding states, the Cherokee could hardly be defined as killing "so many" colonists.Colonists who were killed included those who broke treaties and senate laws and forced settled Cherokee indian villagers to leave their land, killing Cherokee indians in their homes. Colonists refused Cherokee accesss to education, hassled their church (christian) contacts and services, and behaved like traitorous rednecks, as maybe their current descendents do now.For all the grief the colonists gave the Cherokeee, the Cherokee took very little opportunities to exact revenge, and never attacked colonists without reason - in fact many in the southern areas were intermarrying with white colonists.Read Daniel Blake Smith (2011) An American Betrayal - Cherokee Patriots and the Trail of Tears.
