The document discusses three key acts that impacted Native Americans: the Indian Removal Act of 1830 which forced tribes east of the Mississippi to relocate to Oklahoma, resulting in the tragic Trail of Tears journey that caused thousands of deaths; the Dawes Act of 1887 which divided tribal lands into individual plots in an attempt to force assimilation; and the Trail of Tears that occurred in the 1830s as a result of the Indian Removal Act, where Native Americans suffered greatly during their forced journey to Oklahoma.

2. Passed on May 28, 1830
It was the first legislative act that violated
the long standing US Policy of respecting
the legal and political rights of the
American Indians
The act granted permission to President
Andrew Jackson to give unsettled land to
the tribes in exchange for their land
within US borders
Even though the US promoted this policy
they wound up resorting to the forcible
removal of the tribes east of the
Mississippi River.
The result is the Trail of Tears & the
formation of Indian Reservations
