Identify and discuss an example of Federal Indian policy from Colonization through the 20th century. Be sure to describe the act or policy and analyze its impact upon Native Americans. Some questions you might answer include: How do the colonist treat the Indians initially? Why do the settlers enter into treaty negotiations at first and why do they end up negating these contracts? What explains the shifts in attitudes? Be sure to discuss settler conceptions around land use, family structure, and work ethics. How do settler attitudes (ideologies and beliefs) towards racial superiority and religious purity inform and justify federal policy, laws, court cases and actions?
