Practically the answer is your question. The natives' should get there land because both the parties agreed to sign the treaties in order to get something in return. In the natives' case, one thing was the land that THEY lived on orignally. The Canadian government (European at that time) came to THEIR country where they were already established and said "OK, we're going to come in here, take your land, but we'll be 'nice' and let you keep some of your things." Native means 'being in the place or enviornment that you were born in' and they were their first and they deserve the land that was agreed upon. 'Cause the European jerks though they were better so they took the Native's land. That's why.

How did the US government respond to Sand Creek massacre?
The US response to help out after the Sand Creek massacre was writing a new treaty that offered the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes other reservations. As with previous treaties federal officials did not enforce its provisions. None of the tribes ever received the land they were promised. When the US Civil War ended, it became clear that Native Tribes were in the way of US plans to settle the West. This would work out badly over the next 25 years for Native Americans.

How did the US government support white settlement in the West?
The United States government supported this, in that they set up reservation for the Native Americans. They then bought the land from them and promised to protect them. The US government also wrote and signed many treaties to help the Native Americans. Sadly though this didnt last long. Because the settlers wanted the Native Americans land. This caused the Native Americans to fight back. They were fighting not only for their land, but for their resources. But mostly in order to keep their traditions. Thanks I hope that helps!
