Some causes of the Indian Wars were the settlers desire to own land the Natives lived and hunted on, a need for the Europeans to search for gold which in turn destroyed and ran Native people from land they lived on. The writing of Peace Treaties that the government either misled or had no intention to follow through on were another reason the wars carried out. The effects were the wars themselves. The conflicts between settlers and Natives, the battles between Native bands and US Soldiers, as well as the establishing of reservations for the Native bands. Reservations that were on poor land that was limited in space and required them to be dependent upon the Soldiers for food and any other needs.
