What was the result of government policies toward the American Indians?

Generally speaking, The US Government's policies towards Native Americans in North America resulted in the reduction of these peoples. They were forced to live on "Indian Reservations" in the latter part of the 19th Century. Some Tribes and individual Native Americans fared better than most. This was due to programs to integrate them into US society. Sadly, so many "treaties" the Federal government made with various Native Tribes were broken by the Federal government. For the most part, the Native Americans in both North & South America suffered badly under the governments that previously were "European" governments.
