They started making treaties with the Native Americans around 1786. Their land, millions of acres, for our so called "protection" that we did not deliver on. So basically, our government, our president Andrew Jackson was cheating the Native Indians. Not until around 1830's did we really start expanding west. The settlers started expanding and the Native Indians although at their homes were "in the way." So the government forced them to move by packing them into train cars or making them walk thousands of miles in the scorching sun. some even forced to move into chains. so around 1830-1839.
