What is sam Houston's view on native Americans?

Sam Houston favored the Native Americans, and he tried to improve relationships with them while he was in his 1st and 3rd term of being the President of Texas. When he was young, his father passed away, he went to live with the Cherokee Indian tribes. While there, he gained the name of "Coloneh" or "Black Raven". He also learned some of their skills, customs, and native language. While living with the Cherokees, he developed a certain connection with the tribe. Every time Sam Houston was lost or confused along the way, he went and lived with the Cherokee tribe. After a while, while he was living with the Cherokees, he began to have drinking issues, so they changed his name to "Ardeetahskee" or "Big Drunk". He always took the Native American side, because some people would have killed them. Sam Houston tried making a treaty that said if the Native American tribes stopped attacking the Texan cities and gave back the women and children that they took prisoner, then they can have title to their land. This treaty was never put into action because it was denied by the Texas Senate. There is a link below to a website you can visit for more information on Sam Houston.
