The American Indian Policy Review Commission of 1975 looked at the history between the Federal Government and the Native Americans, in order to improve future policy, 5 of the 11 commissions were Native Americans themselves. I believe this was a policy put forward by the Federal Government.
The young nation of the United States pursued a policy of pushing Native Americans off arable land. Eventually, the reservation system started on land that was not suitable for farming or even hunting.

In the late 18th century, reformers starting with George Washington and Henry Knox, supported educating native children and adults, in efforts to civilize them. The Civilization Fund Act of 1819 promoted this civilization policy by providing funding to societies (mostly religious) who worked on Native American improvement. In 1857, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney expressed that since Native Americans were "free and independent people" that they could become U.S. citizens. On June 2, 1924 U.S. Republican President Calvin Coolidge signed the Indian Citizenship Act making all Native Americans, who were not already citizens, born in the United States and its territories citizens of the United States. Prior to the passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The earliest recorded date of Native Americans' becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the 19831 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek.
Umm... can anyone please help me !
You are asking the wrong question. It should be how did American policy affect Native Americans.
The policy brought the native americans into mainstream Self-determination
The government's policy of assimilation of the Native Americans was a failure because the government wanted to eliminate them. The government wanted the Native Americans to remain powerless.

The idea that Native Americans should be 'Americanized' goes back at least to the 1700s, but as a government policy, it probably started with the Dawes Act in 1887 and continued through 1924 with the Indian Citizenship Act.
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 stated the original policy of the U.S. federal government toward the Native Americans.
that they were not allowed anything/they were stupid
The Native Americans were hurt by Jackson's removal policy. They were forced to move to what is now Oklahoma.
