What did the United states government do to compensate the tribes for the large parcels of land ceded to the government?

Answer 1

The United States government compensated Native American tribes for ceded lands primarily through treaties, which often included monetary payments, goods, and the reservation of smaller parcels of land. However, these agreements were frequently not honored or were renegotiated under pressure, resulting in further loss of land and resources for the tribes. Additionally, the government occasionally provided annuities or funding for education and infrastructure, but these were often inadequate and inconsistently delivered. Overall, the compensation efforts were often seen as insufficient and exploitative.
