When their land was taken away, many American Indians were sent to live on reservations, which were designated areas of land set aside by the U.S. government. These reservations were often located in remote or less desirable areas, primarily in the West, such as parts of present-day Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Montana. The establishment of reservations was part of a broader policy of displacement and assimilation that aimed to control and limit the movement and cultural practices of Native American tribes.
