Why are the treaties aren't always fair With the native Americans?

Treaties between Native Americans and the U.S. government often lacked fairness due to power imbalances, as Indigenous nations were frequently coerced into agreements under pressure or threat of violence. Many treaties were written in complex legal language that Indigenous leaders did not fully understand, leading to misinterpretations. Additionally, the U.S. government often failed to uphold treaty obligations, resulting in the loss of land and resources for Native American tribes. This history of broken promises has contributed to ongoing grievances and mistrust between Native Americans and the federal government.


Did the government keep or break most of the treaties that it made with the native Americans?

The government historically broke many treaties made with Native Americans, often prioritizing expansion and resource acquisition over honoring agreements. Numerous treaties were signed under duress or false pretenses, and subsequent policies frequently disregarded their terms. This pattern of treaty violation contributed to significant loss of land, culture, and autonomy for Native American tribes. While some treaties were upheld, the overall trend has been one of broken promises and unfulfilled commitments.
