How many years did it take for the federal government to move Plains tribes onto reservations?
The process of moving Plains tribes onto reservations began in the mid-19th century and continued for several decades. Initially, the federal government started signing treaties in the 1850s, but it was not until the late 19th century, with the Indian Wars and the defeat of various tribes, that the government was able to fully enforce these treaties.

Three main reasons... 1. The federal gov had promised them land, or reservations that would be solely theirs and they would be able to have through their generations.

They (when creating the train tracks across the US) killed millions of bison for meat and fur trade. This was the Indians main food source and most sacred animal figure. 3. Through the Dawes act, they were Americanized and their culture utterly destroyed.

Why did the native Americans resist moving to reservations?
The Indians disliked living on government reservations because it was not their way of living, There was a lot of hostilities during the late 1800's between the Indians and the US government, The US government wanted to keep track of the Indians and their movement, so most of the plains Indians were forced into living on Government owned land (The Reservations) One of the main reasons for the US governments suspicion against the Indians was the Ghost Dance created by the Sioux Indian Wovoka. Ghost Dances were carried out at the government reservations, and the Indians believed that the sacred Ghost Dance would bring their ancestors back to life and the plains back to how it used to be. Another reason for the Plains Indians not liking the Reservations is the fact that the Indians could not run their lives on how they wanted it to be, the Indians didn't have their traditional lifestyle, and were often forced to act more like one of the white men and some were even educated in the white man's way of life. The Indians were basically being told how to live their life's and did not have the freedom they were used to on the Plains. The Indians Nomadic way of life was also connected to their beliefs about land, they believed land was provided by the Great spirit for all living creatures to share. Therefore they believed no one should ever live permanently on one piece of land because they would be claiming it for themselves.
