Despite his Native American middle name, General Sherman was an outspoken enemy of Native Americans. This statement by him is in the public domain and hence deemed fit as part of the answer. Sherman in around 1866 said; " We must act with vindictive earnestness against the Sioux, even to the point of extermination, men, women, and children. Nothing else will reach the root of this case."

Sherman, under then US President Grant, followed an aggressive and hostile policy of placing Native Americans on reservations or killing them.

As an aside, the well known case of General Custer, was based on President Grant's order to have all Indian Americans in Montana, moved to reservations.

American Native Tribes People in the entire Western Hemisphere were basically "marginalized" to one degree or another.
