Assimilation was an effort by the United States to transform Native American culture to European-American culture between the years of 1790—1920. George Washington and Henry Knox were first to propose, Indian American context, the cultural transformation of Native Americans. They formulated a policy to encourage the “civilizing “ process. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the government outlawed the practice of traditional religious ceremonies. It established boarding schools which children were required to attend, In these schools they were forced to speak English, study standard subjects, attend church, and leave tribal traditions behind.

1823 when Texas was still part of Mexico, there were serious problems with raids by Indians. Under Mexican law, Austin was authorized to form a militia to ward off Indian raids, capture criminals and patrol against intruders. In May, while Austin was in Mexico City, his lieutenant, Moses Morrison, used this authority to assemble a company of men to protect the Texas coast from Indians. The term "Texas Ranger" did not appear officially in a piece of legislation until 1874.

In 1835, the most infamous of the treaties was negotiated at New Echota, Georgia, the Cherokee capital. By riverboat, wagon andhorseback - but mainly on foot - the Cherokee began their forced exile across the Mississippi. Over four thousand men, women, and children died on that fateful journey. The silent graves stretching from the foothills of the Smoky Mountains to their new territory in the West, mark what has come to be known to the Cherokee as the TRAIL OF TEARS.

Under A Winter Moon

A French Agent and his guide wait for the dark of the moon to meet with other woodland Indians and to carry out raids into the English settlements during the French and Indian War, 1754 — 1763. The conflict is known by several names. In British America, wars were often named after the sitting British monarch, such as King William's War or Queen Anne's War. Because there had already been a King George's War in the 1740s, British colonists named the second war in King George's reign after their opponents, and thus it became known as the French and Indian War. This traditional name remains standard in the United States, although it obscures the fact that American Indians fought on both sides of the conflict.
