The U. S. government tried to speed Indian assimilation with the Indian removal act. they asked all native Americans to either move further west or to adopt white ways of life. the president at the time I believe was Andrew Jackson. in the end they ended up moving even the natives who did adopt white ways because most still thought of them as Savage.
