Speaking in general terms, American attitudes and convictions toward Native Americans at the end of the 19th century were dismissive and apathetic, where any attention was paid at all. At the same time, the significant "Indian Wars" had all ended. Thus, the best description of American policy towards the Natives at this time would be the following: Native tribal power now having been broken, it remains solely to maintain the remnants of these people on the various nations as governmental funding allocated to the task will allow.
