Colonial Map of American Indian Tribes –
     http://www.csulb.edu/projects/ais/nae/chapter_1/001_002_1.55.jpg  “Most European settlers,
     accustomed to small-scale farms, viewed the Indian's vast hunting grounds as a wasteful, ineffective use
     of their land. They also wanted sovereignty over Indian territory in order to claim the gateway the west,
     beginning with the Ohio Valley. After the French and Indian War, the Treaty of Paris in 1763 labeled all
     Indians "subjects" of the British crown, and established the settlements of eastern North America as
     British colonies. The Proclaimation of 1763 marked boundaries along the Appalachians, separating
     Indian land from European settlements and nullifying any 'sea-to-sea' claims based on colonial charters.
     The Plan of 1764 also set up an imperial fur trading system at the frontier forts intended to protect Indian
     land and treaty rights. In the end, however, these agreements gave in to pressure from speculators and
     westward expansion." California State University at Long Beach: Professor Troy Johnson

Land Transfers from Native Americans to Whites: 1775-1894 –
     http://www.csulb.edu/projects/ais/nae/chapter_5/001_002_5.01.jpg  "These two maps reveal the dramatic
     transfer of Indian Lands in to white hands between 1775 and 1894. The shaded areas are Indian holdings,
     the white areas those held by settlers. Lands transferred include those given over by treaty; purchase;
     unratified treaty of agreement; and those taken without Indian consent by private seizure and executive
     order, usually from the Secretary of the Interior or Congress. The huge reserves held by tribes before the
     Europeans arrived were necessary to support hunting, agriculture, and their nomadic way of life. White
     settlers, used to much denser populations saw this as wasteful and unnecessary. It was the conscious
     desire and mission of many settlers and government officials to rid the Indians of any title to their lands
     by 1900, and vest those title rights in the U.S. government. " California State University at Long Beach:
