What was true of American Indian tribes under the Indian Appropriations Act?

Under the Indian Appropriations Act of 1851, American Indian tribes were forced onto designated reservations, which significantly reduced their land and autonomy. This act aimed to assimilate Native Americans into American society by promoting agriculture and sedentary lifestyles, often disregarding their traditional ways of life. Additionally, tribes were often inadequately compensated for their land, leading to further economic hardships and loss of cultural identity. Overall, the act marked a significant shift in U.S. policy toward Native Americans, prioritizing land acquisition and control over tribal sovereignty.
