In 1786, the United States established its first Native American reservation and approached each tribe as an independent nation. This policy remained intact for more than one hundred years. But as President James Monroe noted in his second inaugural address in 1821, treating Native Americans this way “flattered their pride, retarded their improvement, and in many instances paved the way to their destruction.”

Reservation beginnings
In 1851, the United States Congress passed the Indian Appropriations Act, which authorized the creation of Indian reservations in modern day Oklahoma.

The establishment of reservations became prevalent under Presidential administration of Ulysses S. Grant in the late 1860s in response to the perceived "Indian problem" of growing conflicts between U.S. settlers and Native American tribes in the West. Relations between settlers and natives had grown increasingly worse as the settlers encroached on hunting grounds and natural resources in the West.

Go to Wikipedia.com, the best internet resource to date. To your general question however, there have been thousands of Native American tribes, territories, and records since 1700 here in the United States. Give that a try or just do a general search engine on the subject. Best of luck to you.
