To destroy them by cultural subversion.
The first step to this process was to herd them all together into a reservation; this subverted their cultural system of food production and made them reliant on the food provided to them by the white man.
Once there, all of their religious practices were outlawed and those practicing that religion were jailed or killed. (These laws stayed on the books until 1976; even though they violated the 1st amendment of the constitution)
There was also the "Educate the children to kill the Indian" (direct quote of program administrator) plan: This plan was simple, it took all Native American children away from their families; cut their hair, forced them to wear non-native clothing, jailed them for speaking their native language, and forced them to adopt the Christian religion. Those children that refused were beaten or jailed, and those that ran away were jailed or killed. (This plan officially ended in 1965 - although it still continues).
There were several other things tried that failed miserably, like trying to force them to farm, etc.
There are other things that happened, and are still happening today, that are an extension of that original plan(s) - but being they are more modern in origin they do not qualify under the restraints of the question.
Andrew Jackson believed that the speedy removal of Native Americans from their ancestral lands would ultimately benefit them by offering the opportunity for a more secure and prosperous life in designated territories. He argued that relocation would protect Native Americans from the encroachment of settlers and the associated conflicts, allowing them to maintain their cultures in a more stable environment. Jackson framed this policy as a means of ensuring their survival and future prosperity in a rapidly changing nation. However, this perspective overlooked the significant suffering and loss experienced by Native American communities due to forced removal.

The allegiance the Native Americans had with the French I think was very important to the Native Americans. They were fighting for their life and the future. The British had shown they couldn't be trusted and were killing them as much as possible, so this was the start of the battle for their way of life.
The arrival of European settlers represents a profound and often devastating shift for Native Americans, signaling the beginning of colonization that would lead to the loss of land, culture, and autonomy. It brought significant changes to their way of life, including conflicts, disease, and forced displacement. For many Native communities, this event marked the start of a long struggle for survival, identity, and rights in the face of relentless expansion and assimilation pressures. Ultimately, it foreshadowed a future fraught with challenges, but also resilience and adaptation as Native Americans sought to preserve their heritage and sovereignty.
After the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794, Tecumseh envisioned a unified Native American confederation that would resist westward expansion by settlers and protect Indigenous lands and cultures. He sought to rally various tribes to stand together against encroachment, emphasizing the importance of collective strength and cooperation among different nations. Tecumseh believed that by forming a strong alliance, Native Americans could maintain their sovereignty and secure a future for their people.

The American Indian Policy Review Commission of 1975 looked at the history between the Federal Government and the Native Americans, in order to improve future policy, 5 of the 11 commissions were Native Americans themselves. I believe this was a policy put forward by the Federal Government.
He Believed in Himself and all the people around him or in the future.
My question is......can we Americans pool OUR money together for future investment legally?

In the 19th Century, Canadian government thought that educating and caring for the native Americans was their responsibility. They thought that, for them to succeed they needed to learn English or French, and to become a Christian. There plan was pretty much to get rid of all Native American traditions for Canada in the future.
I am not sure what you mean. If you are asking about Native Americans or others. In the United States there were several million tribes and each affected by the Europeans differently.
