As people began to move west they wanted the Native American lands. The Indian Relocation Act of 1830 officially said that the tribes were to be removed.

From their arrival to establish the first colony the European settlers did their best to kill, remove, or displace the Native tribes from their lands. The government made treaties they broke and they forcibly removed people to reservations. The Federal army would go into a sleeping village early in the morning and kill men, women, and children. The government policy was a " good Indian was a dead one" and they would do anything to accomplish this task. Read Black Elk Speaks or Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee for further understanding of the genocide that was committed..

What are the causes and results of the warfare between whites and Indians in the Great West?

Whites wanted the sacred land that belonged to the Native Americans for railroads and for establishing cities. However the Native Americans attempted to fight for their land but they had little power and were forced to move westward. The whites killed off millions of buffalo in their building of railroads. This caused a large problem to the Native Americans since they relied on buffalo as a major food source.
