The Europeans, French and Englishmen wanted to put the Native American Indians on reservations and limit their land so they they could farm for gold and own a larger amount of land for crops and animals. I hope this answers your question <3
This is what I learnt in class last week anyway : D

The Cherokee Nation was the Indian tribe that endured the Trail of Tears as they were forcibly removed from their homes in Georgia. In the 1830s, under the Indian Removal Act, thousands of Cherokees were relocated to designated Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma. The journey was marked by suffering, disease, and death, resulting in the loss of nearly a quarter of the population during the trek. This tragic event is a significant part of American history, highlighting the impact of government policies on Native American communities.
The Chickasaw Nation was forcibly relocated by the US federal government to Indian Territory, which is now Oklahoma. They are headquartered in Ada, Oklahoma.

The eastern part of the state of Oklahoma is land that was designated Indian Territory, to which many indigenous tribes of the Southeastern states were relocated. An earlier form, Indian Country, included parts of several states along the Mississippi River.
The Indian Territory, where the Trail of Tears primarily led, is located in what is now eastern Oklahoma. After the Indian Removal Act of 1830, numerous Native American tribes, including the Cherokee, Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw, were forcibly relocated from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to this territory. The journey was marked by immense suffering, with thousands of Native Americans dying from disease, exposure, and starvation along the way. The Indian Territory was intended as a designated area for these tribes, although it later became a state in 1907.
