Indian Territories (The Golden Path)

Indian Territory or Indian Country are used to describe an the land area set aside by the United States Government for the relocation of the Native Indian tribes of the Americas who had lived on their land for many generations. In general, the tribes ceded land they occupied in exchange for Land Grants in an area purchased by the United States Government from Napoleon, in the form of the Louisian Purchase. The concept of an Indian Territory was an outcome of the 18th and 19th century policy of Indian removal.
