Indian Wars erupted due to tension between the settlers backed by the federal government who were encroaching upon native land and the Native Americans occupying this land. The result of this tension led to Indian Wars such as the Sioux Wars which contained events such as the Wounded Knee Massacre in which federal troops killed 300 Sioux men, women, and children and the killing of General Custer during the battle of Wounded Knee which caused public opinion to turn even more against Native Americans. As a result of these Indian Wars all Native American tribes were effectively put onto reservations. The purposeful impairment and alienation of native culture was strongly emphasized by actions taken and legislation passed by the federal government of the United States.

The first non-reservation Native American boarding school was opened on November 1, 1878 by Richard Pratt in Carlisle, Pennsylvania (Fuchs & Havighurst, 1972). Pratt retired from the United States Army in 1903 as a colonel, having participated in many of the conflicts compromising the American Indian Wars. Prior to opening the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, Pratt experimented with Native American prisoners from the Red River War (Pratt, 2001). His belief that Native Americans needed to be taught to reject their cultural values and way of life to adapt to a ‘white American’ or western lifestyle is best outlined by his statement, “A great general has said that the only good Indian is a dead one. In a sense, I agree with the sentiment, but only in this: that all the Indian there is in the race should be dead.

The Trail of Tears had a negative effect on the Cherokee Nation, who were forcefully moved out of their homeland to dry plains of the new Oklahoma territory. It was dry, not farmable and deathly hot; the Native Americans had no idea how to survive there. John Quincy Adams signed the Indian Removal Act into place. The Removal Act stated that the United States Government had the right to forcefully move the Native Americans to different lands as long as they compensated them for the land that they had to give up in the east.
