Although the Quakers were cruel to the Indians for a period of time, they soon grew good intentions towards the Indians by defending them and teaching them Quaker ways. In the 18th century, The Quakers established the Friendly Association for Regaining and Preserving Peace with the Indians.established a 3-million- acre reservation located in Indian Territory (later Oklahoma). The government agents promised to send food and supplies to the reserva- tion and to restrict access to the area. In return, the Native Americans would move onto the reservation and stop the raids against settlers. Some of the chiefs signed the treaty and agreed to live on the reser- vation. Others refused to attend the meeting at all. A few of the leaders at the meeting, including Quanah Parker, rejected the treaty. These lead- ers were angry with the Anglo Americans who wanted to take their lands. Satanta, the principal Kiowa chief at the meeting, spoke out against the treaty.In 1869 President Ulysses S. Grant's administration introduced the . The policy was based on the ideas of a religious group named the Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers. In Pennsyl- vania, the Quakers' gentle ways, respect for life, and fair treatment of Native Americans had brought about peace between the two groups. Some officials hoped they could do the same thing in the Southwest. The peace policy proposed to move native groups to reservations, give them supplies, educate them, and protect them. It also proposed to punish any who raided settlements. It was felt that Quaker agents also would be more honest than some of the agents, who often cheated the Native Americans out of their supplies. Quaker Lawrie Tatum was named the government's agent to the Kiowa-Comanche reservation. Even though he used a more peaceful approach, the government did not provide enough food or supplies. The army failed to stop buffalo hunters from shooting buffalo on the reservation. With nothing to hunt or eat, the Native Americans again raided Texas settlements. When the army chased them, the Quakers usually would not let the soldiers enter the reservation to capture the raiders. This angered the army. The government decided the Quaker Peace Policy was not working. It decided the Native Americans would have to be "removed."
