    The term "relocate" absolutely does NOT mean that Native Americans wanted to be alone. "Relocate" is a euphemism used by the U. S. government to describe the violent, forcible eviction of Native people from their homelands, and their subsequent removal to reservation lands far away, to places where Natives had no knowledge of the climate or ecology, and thus no way to support their lives and cultures. "Relocation" sounded a lot nicer than "genocidal eviction," so that's why the word was used. Native Americans almost universally wanted to stay on their historic lands, but few were allowed to do so.
