I Think the answer would be better if you instead provided information about how the American government didn't exactly use force, but that these indians had already been pushed back after the seminole war, and were then aggressed by settlers moving into their land, and then taking it, pushing them, taking it, etc. Homestead act was not repealed because of the Indians.

The answer is The American government forced American Indians to leave the land. The act forced Native Americans to leave the United States and settle in the Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River.
Several years later, American government agrees to pay their due to the natives by giving out some sort of incentives if you have Native Indian roots in your bloodline.
