Yes, conflicts arose between the US government and the Plains Indians because the Indians wanted to live on reservation land and farm. In 1851, in the First Fort Laramie Treaty, the American government guaranteed the Plains Indians that they would be left alone in their reservations, but this treaty was not honored.
In Native Americans of the Plains did not want to live on reservations because they destroyed their way of life. Living on the reservations did not allow the freedom that they had when living on the Plains chasing the buffalo in a nomadic lifestyle.
Technology was not widely accepted by the Plains Indians because they had a different belief system. While Europeans embraced growing technological trends, the natives followed more of spiritual approach to progress. This created a culture gap that impeded their progress.
The Indians disliked living on government reservations because it was not their way of living, There was a lot of hostilities during the late 1800's between the Indians and the US government, The US government wanted to keep track of the Indians and their movement, so most of the plains Indians were forced into living on Government owned land (The Reservations) One of the main reasons for the US governments suspicion against the Indians was the Ghost Dance created by the Sioux Indian Wovoka. Ghost Dances were carried out at the government reservations, and the Indians believed that the sacred Ghost Dance would bring their ancestors back to life and the plains back to how it used to be. Another reason for the Plains Indians not liking the Reservations is the fact that the Indians could not run their lives on how they wanted it to be, the Indians didn't have their traditional lifestyle, and were often forced to act more like one of the white men and some were even educated in the white man's way of life. The Indians were basically being told how to live their life's and did not have the freedom they were used to on the Plains. The Indians Nomadic way of life was also connected to their beliefs about land, they believed land was provided by the Great spirit for all living creatures to share. Therefore they believed no one should ever live permanently on one piece of land because they would be claiming it for themselves.
The Plains Indian Tribes were completely dependent on the buffalo as their source of food, shelter, and clothing. When the white men began destroying the buffalo for sport, the Indians were forced to accept government policy and conform to life on the Indian Reservations.
treaties and promised
The American attitude was that Americans had the right to fill the continent. When the Native Indian Americans were a threat to the settlers moving in, the US government made treaties with groups like the Plains Indians, or strong-armed them into moving out of the areas designated for white settlers.
The plains were promised to the Native Americans for "as long as Grass grows or water runs"This policy was based on the beleif that white settlers were not interested in the Plains.The land was considered too dry for farming.
There is only one race but many nations of Native Americans on the plains.
By 1850 some 75,000 native americans lived on the plains. The u.s government promised to pay for any damages to indian lands.
