American Indian policy changed after the Revolutionary War and ratification of the Constitution. While Americans had attempted to carry out a policy of “conquest,” natives refused “to regard themselves as a conquered people”. Discuss three distinct and specific actions the United States government took regarding Native Americans between 1790 and 1815. Explain how each of these actions both promoted assimilation of Native Americans into white society and sped up the transfer of Native American land to white control. Then, describe one instance from this time period in which Native Americans took an approach of accommodating US interests and one instance from this time period in which Native Americans took an approach of resistance to US interests.
