Four Indian tribes that were moved west of the Mississippi River include the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, and Chickasaw. This relocation was largely due to the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which aimed to open up land for European-American settlers. The forced migration, often referred to as the Trail of Tears, resulted in significant suffering and loss of life for these tribes.
