"I do not think the government was justified in using these policies; They were treating the Plain Indians horrible after coming into their land and kicking them off, taking their resources as well. They were weakening these tribes and harming their cultures; It was wrong of Americans to think they were better then these people and to treat them so horribly. Forcing them to assimilate into American culture and putting them in reservations was wrong. The policies with allotments were also unjustifiable. "
