In 1834 Congress created the Indian Territory, an area in present-day Oklahoma, for Native Americans from the Southeast.
It pushed the Indians into even smaller reservations and pushed white people and culture into previously Indian territories.
Quoting Wikipedia: "The Trail of Tears is a name given to the forced relocation and movement of Native American nations from southeastern parts of the United States following the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The removal included many members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations, among others in the United States, from their homelands to Indian Territory (eastern sections of the present-day state of Oklahoma)."
Hard to pin down really. The largest forced removal was of the Southeastern tribes (Cherokee, Creek, et al) in the 1830's "Trail of Tears." Despite a Supreme Court decision that allowed them to stay where they were, Present Andrew Jackson ignored the decision and ordered the Army to move them west into Oklahoma Territory. After that, most Indian removal was really a matter of Indian being told they could stay on certain portions of their land and then having the US Government go back on the promises when they wanted the land for whites. This trended to push the Indians into smaller and smaller pockets of territory (reservations). Many tribes rebelled against this treatment from the mid 1800's to the end of the century. The last Battle of these Indian Wars was at Wounded Knee in 1890. This was not really a battle, since the US troops simply attacked an Indian camp with warning one morning and killed everyone in sight including women and children.
The organization established in 1944 to oppose U.S. government anti-American Indian policies is the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI). It was founded to advocate for the rights and interests of Native Americans and to promote tribal sovereignty. The NCAI played a significant role in addressing issues such as civil rights, land claims, and self-determination for Indigenous peoples.
Cherokee, Chikasaw, Choctaw, Seminoles, and Creek Indian peoples were removed to Oklahoma.
Many were moved to Oklahoma.
Seminole, Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Creek.
The Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Seminole and Creek bands were relocated from the southeast.
The southeastern tribes, including the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Seminole, were removed primarily due to westward expansion and the desire for their fertile lands, particularly in the southeastern United States. The Indian Removal Act of 1830, signed by President Andrew Jackson, facilitated this process by allowing the federal government to negotiate treaties for land exchange. This led to forced relocations, exemplified by the Trail of Tears, where thousands of Native Americans suffered from harsh conditions, disease, and death during their journey to designated Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma.
The Trail of Tears is not a specific place, rather, it is the journey of those Native Americans who were forced from their homelands in the southeastern United States to Indian Territory, west of the Mississippi. The Cherokee were removed from their homes in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and North Carolina to camps in Tennessee and Alabama, and then moved on to Indian Territory in present day Oklahoma. Several different routes were used. Did this help
Fort Towson was built as an entry post for the relocated Choctaw people during the 1830s. Established in what is now southeastern Oklahoma, the fort served as a military outpost and a waystation for Native Americans being removed from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States. It played a significant role in the broader context of the Indian Removal Act and the subsequent Trail of Tears.
The Caddo speaking peoples formerly lived in North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Louisiana and Texas. I am not famaliar with a particular town in Oklahoma, where they also lived, as having been settled by these peoples. However, when Oklahoma was a territory it was used as a reservation with several different native American peoples esconsed there. According to the official history of "Caddo Oklahoma" the town is named for KADOHADACHO "Real Chief" by the Caddo Indian tribe that once inhabited the area.
Oklahoma Indian Jazz was created in 1923.
The eastern part of the state of Oklahoma is land that was designated Indian Territory, to which many indigenous tribes of the Southeastern states were relocated. An earlier form, Indian Country, included parts of several states along the Mississippi River.
Oklahoma
Though not always considered a Southwest state, the eastern half of Oklahoma was known as Indian Territory from 1834 to 1907, when it was joined with the Oklahoma Territory.
