This work investigates the American-Indian policy between 1790 and
1810 through the vehicle of the American government, focusing on
the "white, sincere, religious-minded men who believed intensely in
both American expansion and positive relations with the Indians."
While Indian reaction comprises an important piece of the
native-white cultural encounter in the West, this study questions
if scholars have the ability to address this problem in more than a
very general way. In truth, each tribe was unique and different in
their reaction to white legislation and settlement. There was no
pan-Indian movement against settlement, and for the same reason,
there is no pan-Indian history. However, it is possible to write of
the white Americans as more of a single entity. They were closely
united both in outlook and in goals. They had a single program
which they meant to apply to all the Indians. This work will
attempt to assess the piece of this policy regarding the fur trade
and the Northwest. Settlement of the Western frontier did not
follow a predetermined path; private settlement and frontier
violence were not predestined. Many junctures existed where it
could have shifted.
