Native American Relations
"Native American Relations" refers to the interactions and relationships between Indigenous peoples of North America and various governments, particularly the United States. These relations have evolved over centuries, marked by treaties, conflicts, and efforts at assimilation. Key events include the signing of treaties that often promised land and resources in exchange for peace, which were frequently broken or ignored.
Throughout history, Native American tribes, such as the Cherokee and Sioux, have faced challenges including forced relocation, cultural suppression, and loss of sovereignty. In recent years, there has been a growing movement to recognize tribal rights, preserve Indigenous cultures, and address historical injustices through legal and political means.
