The process of moving Plains tribes onto reservations began in the mid-19th century and continued for several decades. Initially, the federal government started signing treaties in the 1850s, but it was not until the late 19th century, with the Indian Wars and the defeat of various tribes, that the government was able to fully enforce these treaties. Overall, it took several decades, from the 1850s to the late 19th century, for the federal government to effectively relocate Plains tribes onto reservations.
