what treaties were made with the native americans?

Question

be specific and give details about them!!! please and thanks

Answer 1

There were a lot of different treaties with the American Indians (sorry if this offends anyone but if you are born here you are a Native American). To start off with there was the 1851 treaty, and then there was the 1866 Peace Council, which was trying to make a treaty with the American Indians. This resulted in Red Cloud's war along the Bozeman Trail. During this two year war with the Indians there was the Fetterman Fight in which the US lost. All men under Capt. Fetterman were killed and terribly mutilated. This war ended when the US and Cheif Red Cloud came to an agreement. The problem was the Bozeman Trail and the three forts along it. This cut right through the hunting grounds of the Lakota people, splitting the buffalo herd. The Treaty of 1868 was not a sole treaty between the US and Red Cloud. The treaty was signed by the United States and the following tribes: Brule, Oglalla, Minneconjou, Yanctonais and Arapahoe. This treaty was put into law and is still on the law books today. It set up the land North of the North Platte River into the Black Hills of South Dakota as Lakota land. The Black Hills are considered sacred by the Lakota people and still are to this day. The white man was not supposed to live within the boundries set up by this treaty. This was upheld by the United States Army, who would make sure that anyone who was not to be there was removed. This worked until 1874 when gold was discoverd in the Black Hills by Lt. Col. G.A. Custer. The flood of people was just to much for the wide spread army to contain. The Treaty of 1868 was used in a court case between the Lakota people and the US government in the late 1970's. The result of this case was the awarding of money to the Lakota Nation for the land that was taken. Since the land was never for sale the money is sitting in a bank account growing interest. It was also brought up in a case against the railroad. The railroad wanted to build track strait through part of a reservation to connect with a line being built east. They wanted the line to go strait through the reservation because it would be shorter. The Indians told the railroad no that wasn't going to happen. Like normal the railroad tried to buy the land to run their track on. It went to high courts who ruled in favor of the Indians and not the railroad. Why was this? Because of the Treaty of 1868. And as for the first answer on this question about the English and the small pox blankets. That was a small isolated incident that.

Answer 2

Too many to list. There was a separate treaty made with most every tribe or group of native Americans. Each one was different, in compensation and extent of rights surrendered, Most were broken by one side or the other or both, for various reasons.

Answer 3

Just google it; I will ONLY say that NOT ONE WAS EVER KEPT! The U.S. Govenment has never kept even one treaty with the Indians (Native Americans to those who are P.C. [politically correct])
Consider: the U.S. made a treaty with Red Cloud giving him his "two mountains" (easter Wyoming, all of Nebraska north of the Platte River; the Badlands of South Dakota and south-east Montana. Now: who lives there?

Answer 4

Their weren't. The English screwed Native Americans over by giving them blankets infested with Small Pox. >:[
