How did us Indian policy violate individual rights of native Americans?

U.S. Indian policy historically violated the individual rights of Native Americans through forced removal from their ancestral lands, as exemplified by the Trail of Tears, which displaced thousands. Policies such as the Dawes Act aimed to assimilate Native Americans into Euro-American culture by allotting individual plots of land, undermining communal living and traditional practices. Additionally, treaties made with Native tribes were frequently broken or ignored by the government, further eroding their sovereignty and rights. These actions collectively marginalized Native American communities and disregarded their autonomy and cultural identity.
