The term is reservations. These lands originally were set aside to virtually imprison the Indian and to once and for all, break their spirits. The lands the government set aside in the beginnings were unwanted, inhospitable places, usually totally foreign to the lands the Indians had known. For instance, Apaches who are mountain, desert Indians were shipped to Florida where it was flat and humid, causing the deaths of hundreds. Tribes were put together who had long been enemies such as the Crow and Cheyenne. Again, they hoped to have them exterminate each other.
