4 Native Americans and the Federal Government in the 19 th Century Review: Colonial American History There was conflict between Europeans and Native Americans from the time the first Europeans came to the Americas o Jamestown vs. the Powhatan Tribe o Massachusetts Bay Colony vs. the Pequot and Wampanoag Tribes o Pennsylvania and a good relationship with the Delaware Tribe As the colonies became more economically successful and populated, Native Americans were pushed further and further west The French and Indian War o France and Britain fought over control of North America and both sides enlisted the help of Native Americans. o When William Pitt and the British received help from the Iroquois, they were able to defeat the French o This prompted further conflict between the Ottawa Tribe and the British because when the French lost the war, they lost control of the Ohio River Valley where they had lived. The British weakened the tribe by giving them small-pox infected blankets. This weakened them to the point of being forced into a treaty: The Proclamation of 1763 Established a line that the colonists could not pass so the Native Americans could have all of the western lands. This Proclamation line was almost immediately broken After the Revolution: Early American Federal Policy on Native Americans Treaty of Paris: Ended the American Revolution o Britain ceded its claim to lands west of the Appalachians (indicating that they never followed the Proclamation of 1763) but did not remove many of their forts or people o Native Americans were excluded from the Treaty of Paris negotiations and most refused to follow its provisions The Little Turtle Tribe (Miami Confederacy) defeated the American military for lands on the Ohio River in 1790 and 1791 The Americans, led by Mad Anthony Wayne defeated the Native Americans in 1794 at the Battle of Fallen Timbers and established an American fort in the area. Jefferson Purchases the Louisiana Purchase in

5 o Americans officially breaks the Proclamation line of 1763 (that had not been followed in the first place) by claiming American ownership of that land Indian Removal Act was put into place by the Jackson administration in 1830 o Federal funds would be used to negotiate treaties that would force Native Americans to move west o The federal negotiators would only recognize leaders who were open to negotiations even if they were not the leaders selected by the Native Americans o Several Native Tribes were forced to move from their lands in the east to lands in the west Trail of Tears o Groups of 1,000 Native Americans were sent from their ancestral lands to new lands in the west due to the negotiations in 1830 o The trip was long, hard, and dangerous. The Cherokee lost a quarter of their people on the way. Homestead Act (1862) o Congress passed this act to give western lands to Americans who wanted to settle in the west o To clear these lands, the government needed to relocate thousands of Native Americans into reservations Completion of the Transcontinental Railroad (1868) o The Railroad went right through Native American lands and resulted in even more Native Americans being relocated to reservations 1871 Congress declares it will no longer negotiate treaties with the Native Americans o This is extremely significant because it solidifies the control the federal government holds over the Native American populations today. Dawes Act (1887) o Congressed aimed to Americanize Native Americans by breaking up reservations and giving lots to individual Native Americans The idea of land ownership differed between Americans and Native Americans. Most Native American tribes believed that the tribe owned communal land (individuals did not own land). This difference in culture was a major reason for conflict between Americans (who value the individual s right to own land) and Native Americans. 5

6 Class 2: 90 Minutes Geography of Native American Movement and Reduction Opening Journal Questions (20 minutes): Why is it ironic that the American government has policies on the Native Americans? Who is making the decisions, Americans or Native Americans? Please list three examples to support your answer. Why is land quality important to a group of people? Core Activity (65 minutes): The students will use three blank outline maps of the United States to produce three maps (see attached). o The first will display the original Native American tribes before European Contact. o The second will be a map of the Trail of Tears. o The third will be a map of the Indian Reservations today. By doing these three maps, students will get a sense of the diminishing existence of Native Americans and will connect that to the policies of the federal government that were previously discussed in class. Wrap-Up (5 minutes): Assign Homework: Students are to complete their maps if they were not able to do so in the class period. Two minute drill. Objectives: Students will be able to explain the significance of American policy with Native Americans and connect it to the geography of resettlement. Students will be able identify the Native American Tribes before European contact, the routes of the Trail of Tears, and the location of Indian Reservations today. Students will be map information from one map to a blank outline map. Assessment: Students will produce a journal entry. Students will produce three maps. 6

11 Class 3: 50 Minutes Timeline of Federal Policies and Artwork Opening Journal Question (10 minutes): Students will spend the first 7-10 minutes responding to a question that will get her/him thinking about the idea of government and its roll in the lives of the people: How does government positively impact you life? How does it negatively impact your life? Why is government needed? What would happen without it? How did government impact the Native Americans? Time-Line Activity (20 minutes) The students will create a time line of federal policies and Native Americans (see attached). Activity (15 minutes): View Pictures from the Trail of Tears (See Attached) o These Pictures will be shown in PowerPoint form o We will discuss each picture with the following discussion questions: What is this picture of? Who do you think might have painted it? What is the artist trying to portray? What does this have to do with the policy we have talked about? Wrap-up (5 minutes): Assign Homework: Students are to finish their timelines if they did not complete them in class. They are also to write a one paragraph response to one of the pictures viewed in class. 2 Minute Drill Objectives: Students will be able to analyze the class information and organize it on a timeline. Students will be able identify the major policies and acts of the federal government concerning Native Americans. Students will be able to analyze artwork and connect it to historical context. Assessment: Students will produce a timeline of federal policies. Students will produce a paragraph in response to historical artwork. 11
