In the 1860s, the Plains region of the United States was home to various Native American tribes, including the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Comanche, among others. The population of these tribes varied, but estimates suggest that there were tens of thousands of Native Americans living on the Great Plains during this period. However, specific numbers are difficult to determine due to the impacts of conflict, disease, and displacement caused by westward expansion. Overall, this era marked significant changes for Indigenous populations as they faced increasing pressure from settlers and the U.S. government.

What was the federal policy toward the plains Indians in the 1860s or 1870s?

In the 1860s and 1870s, U.S. federal policy toward the Plains Indians was characterized by a strategy of removal and confinement. The government aimed to force Native American tribes onto reservations while promoting westward expansion and settlement by white settlers. Treaties were often violated, leading to conflicts and violence, such as the Indian Wars. This approach reflected a broader policy of assimilation and the belief in Manifest Destiny, viewing Native lands as a barrier to progress.
