Why did Federal government take the Native lands
The federal government took Native lands in the United States due to expansion and settlement desires, broken treaties, resource extraction needs, Indian removal policies, and assimilation efforts.
Manifest Destiny drove westward expansion, leading to broken promises and forced relocations.
Valuable resources on Native lands were exploited for economic gain, resulting in the loss of ancestral territories.
Policies like the Indian Removal Act and the Dawes Act disrupted Native communities, causing cultural loss and generational trauma.
