Final answer:

Under the Treaty of Paris of 1763, the Indians were negatively affected by the new territorial boundaries set by the British. Many tribes later made treaties with the United States under pressure, as part of a federal policy to civilize the natives. The federal government also resisted tribes' resistance to allotment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Indians under the Treaty of Paris of 1763 were negatively affected by the new territorial boundaries set by the British. The treaty awarded the British everything east of the Mississippi River, including Indian lands. This caused protests from the Indian allies of France and led to hostility towards the British. The Indians had no voice in the negotiations and felt that France had no right to cede their lands to the British.

Furthermore, many tribes later made treaties with the United States between 1795-1864, under which they faced extreme pressure to sign. Not signing the treaty could result in removal by force. These treaties were part of a federal policy to civilize the natives by owning small tracts of lands and adopting farming instead of hunting.

In the later years, tribes also resisted allotment by ignoring individual plots and forming a national tribal government. However, the federal government saw this as a threat and prevented natives from attending meetings and withheld promised federal aid.
