The Grant Administration and the Northern Plains Indians: A Failed Attempt at Peace and Cohabitation
Abstract
President Grant s policies were extensions of foundations set by previous administrations, but he focused on the peaceful movement of the tribes to the reservation with an attendant change of life and culture. Ultimately the Grant Administrations policies were a failed attempt to bring two vastly different cultures to a means of cohabitation that was agreeable to both sides. This resulted in there being nothing left to negotiate, thus the Northern Plains Indians were overtaken by white settlement and the Army used forceful means to accomplish the ultimate goal of their movement onto designated reservations.
