When gold miners began encroaching on Indian territory, there was conflict. In order to negotiate with Indian tribes, the U.S. Government created reservations in compensation for taking significant portions of the territory. As time passed, the reservations became increasingly smaller and relocated to arid lands that proved useless to American farmers. Reservations became somewhat comparable to small countries inside the us, as they were allowed to govern themselves.
