The primary methods that the U. S. government, as well as individual reformers, used to deal with the perceived Indian threat to westward settlement were:

-The Indian removal act 1830.

- The treaties were signed for the indians to be asigned to reservations, and to be relocated. The treaties were not respected, the white americans would traspass their sacred lands.

- They would impose american cultural rituals and believes.

Explanation:

The Americans rejected the native americans and wanted to remove all of their cultural beliefs and rituals. They fear westward expantion so they took all the possible methods to avoid this, from trying to take them out of their lands, to forcing them to change their identity.
