It will look at what this legislation specifically said, the context of the time that it was passed, who it affected the most, and what the overall general outcome of this Act was. Already having a sense of the relationship between the U.S. Government and the Native Americans, students in this lesson will analyze a specific, but very significant example of this relationship, and gain a better understanding of the narrative of this relationship and the power dynamic that was created out of the U.S. government using legislation to negatively impact the lives of Native Americans across the United States.

They have been exposed to various primary source documents relating to the impending removal of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands, and they have heard voices from both sides regarding the reasoning and the questioning behind these new platforms and policies. With this lesson, students will go beyond the opinions and voices and look extensively at the effects and the changes in lives of Native Americans. Students will now be exposed to the direct results of the Indian Removal Act and the unjust and inhumane treatment of the Native Americans through an in-depth analysis of the Trail of Tears.

The original intention for the Act was to encourage African-American and former slave populations the opportunity to obtain land. While the intentions of this legislation inherently seem to create a positive situation for an oppressed population, African-Americans, it simultaneously negatively affected Native Americans living on lands that were thought to be free to expanding Homesteaders. Though the intentions of the Homestead Acts were not completely fulfilled, it promoted large-scale westward expansion for blacks, whites, and immigrant populations to impede on Native American land holdings in the western portions of the United States.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1900/1933 Subject The topic of the resource We Are Still Here Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Griffin Boehm Vinny Curta Description An account of the resource Even though Native American people were the original inhabitants of what is now the present day United States, their road to gaining full, legal citizenship status has been nothing short of arduous. Native peoples were first officially, and unanimously, recognized as US citizens with the passing of the Indian Citizenship Act, also known as the “Snyder Act,” in 1924. This lesson will examine the rationale for the passing of the Act in 1924 as well as the reasons that Indian citizenship remained such a contentious topic for the US government throughout the 18th century. There were many motivations behind not allowing Native Americans to be fully seen as US citizens. Today, it seems foolish to not view Native peoples as American citizens. However, in the latter portions of the 19th and into the 20th century the US Government used Native American citizenship in attempt to control Native Tribes.
