Indian treaties in U S history date back to colonists
The piece traces how Indian treaty rights have evolved from colonial times through the formation of the United States. It notes early discussions of land ownership, the shift from conquests to buyouts, and the fluctuating power of tribes to control their lands. It highlights key moments, from 1778 treaties with Delaware and others to 1871 denouncing independent Indian nations, and how treaties have been eroded by later laws and court rulings.
