Conflict Trail of Tears Native Americans were forced off their land. Moved to the Indian Territory (Oklahoma) Thousands of Native Americans died along the way.

 During the Civil War, Native Americans were left alone.  This all changed, though, with the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, the discovery of rich mineral deposits, and the continued movement west of white settlers.  Sharpshooters were hired by the railroad to shoot the Native American’s buffalo.  Native Americans were being pushed onto smaller and smaller reservations.

Moved to the Indian Territory (Oklahoma) Thousands of Native Americans died along the way.

 What was the significance of Wounded Knee?  Why do you think the Native Americans stopped resisting?

 The Native Americans were forced onto undesirable land. This land was not adapted for their culture.  The Plains Indians cultured centered on buffalo and they could no longer provide enough food for their families.  Even though the government promised to supply the Native Americans with food, they never got enough supplies.  Poverty, starvation, and depression were common on the reservation.

 Reformers were concerned with the way the Native Americans were being treated and the many treaties that the government had broken.  The people believed that if the Natives would give up their tribal traditions and adopt the ways of the white man, they would be successful.

 Describe the life of Native Americans on the Reservation.  Why do reformers want the Native Americans to give up their way of life?

 A new federal policy.  Took the tribal lands of the reservation and divided it up into farms for individual families.  The Native Americans had different ideas of land ownership than the whites.  They believed that land belonged to the group, not individuals.  This policy violated those beliefs and their traditions of hunting.  Many of the farms failed and they lost their land.

 The reformers also believed that the Native American children should learn the ways of the white man.  Children were taken away from their families and sent to schools far away (ex – Pennsylvania).  They were taught to behave like white children and to speak English.

 The values and traditions of the Native Americans were not honored during that time.  Today, because of civil rights movements, their culture is being preserved and their rights honored.  Life on many reservations is still hard and many still live in poverty.

 Explain Dawes Severalty Act.  What did reformers believe about Native American children?  Describe the life of many Native Americans today.
