what state in the 1800's made most of its land into huge indian reservation?

Answer 1

All of Oklahoma was once an indian reservation, but it wasn't a state, just the Oklahoma Territory. Thousands of natives were forced to move there as part of the Trail of Tears.

Answer 2

Respondent Oneida Indian Nation of New York (‘OIN’ or ‘Tribe’) is a direct descendant of the Oneida Indian Nation (‘Oneida Nation’), whose aboriginal homeland, at the Nation’s birth, comprised some six million acres in what is now central New York State (‘State’): see, eg, Oneida Indian Nation of NY v County of Oneida, 414 US 661, 664 (‘Oneida I’).


In 1788, the State and the Oneida Nation entered into a treaty whereby the Oneidas ceded all their lands to the State, but retained a reservation of about 300 000 acres for their own use: see County of Oneida v Oneida Indian Nation of NY, 470 US 226, 231 (‘Oneida II’). The Federal Government initially pursued a policy protective of the New York Indians. In 1790, Congress passed the first Indian Trade and Intercourse Act (‘Nonintercourse Act’), barring sales of tribal land without the Government’s acquiescence. And in the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua, the United States ‘acknowledge[d]’ the Oneidas’ 300 000 acre reservation and guaranteed their ‘free use and enjoyment’ of the reserved territory: Act of Nov 11, 1794, 7 Stat 44, 45, Art III.


Nevertheless, New York continued to purchase reservation land from the Oneidas. Although the Washington administration objected, later administrations made not even a pretence of interfering with New York’s purchases, and ultimately pursued a policy designed to open reservation lands to white settlers and to remove tribes westward. Pressured by the removal policy, many Oneidas left the State. Those who stayed continued to diminish in number and, during the 1840’s, sold most of their remaining lands to New York. By 1920, the New York Oneidas retained only 32 acres in the State.

Answer 3

I suopose you are talking about the US government rounding up over 16,000 women, children and men fro East of the Mississippi and forcing them to WALK to Oklahoma in the winter of 1838(I think that's right) resulting in the deaths of something like 4000 during that forced march marking the "Trail of Tears" but not marking the beginning nor the end of the Indian Holocaust in America...millions of Indians from 1000s of separate tribes were systematically slaughtered by the US government doing everything from deliberately providing them with blankets salted with disease to putting them on the worse land they could find and then stealing the oil and mineral rights from them when that desert land was found to have both...it continues still...does not make me proud to be an American!
