Native American Displacement

Native American Displacement refers to the forced removal of Indigenous peoples from their ancestral lands, primarily during the 19th century in the United States. This was often driven by government policies and expanding settlements, leading to events like the Trail of Tears, where entire communities were relocated, often resulting in suffering and death. Factors like treaties, land acts, and military actions contributed to the loss of land, culture, and autonomy for Native Americans. This historical injustice has long-lasting effects on Indigenous communities, impacting their rights, identity, and relationship with the land today.
