− | Early 19th century: Between 1 and 2 million Indians lived in North America. There were about 600 tribes. White settlers began to move west. They wanted land, so they took the Indians' land. The Indians had different traditions. They had a simpler lifestyle. The whites thought: "They're savages. They have less right to the land. We have more right." 1830: The American government forced the Indians in the east to move. They had to go to land west of the Mississippi. Then the whites found gold and other minerals there. So they drove the Indians off again.

− | Some tribes fought for their land. They couldn't stop the flood of settlers. 1869: The railroad between the East and West Coasts was finished. It was the beginning of the end. The Indians had no chance. There were many battles against the whites. Many thousands of Indians died in battle. Thousands of others died of diseases. Many starved. This sometimes happened on the journeys to reservations. They were very long. The whites had chosen the reservations for them. They were often on poor land. Not much grew there. So the whites weren't interested in it. 1900: the US Indian population was under 250,000.

− | Now there are about 2.8 million Native Americans in the US. Many live on reservations. Others have moved away. They have become part of mainstream American society. Sometimes it is difficult. Some feel 'caught' between the two cultures.
