What were some of the abuses that the Native Americans went through in the 1800s?
Shes not going to starve herself just put dog food down for her She will eat soon enough.
research a raw diet if you want to continue feeding her meat, if not only offer her dog food and she'll eat it when she's hungry enough
Do you mean having their villages burned and the women and children massacred by General Custer and his genocide troops? See Battle of Washita River for a good example. And then you had Christian Indian Agents who took supplies and food meant for the Native Americans and sold it themselves for a profit. The result of this was that more women and children died, from starvation. When it came to treaties, the less than honorable actions of the Christian White Man gave the word renege a new meaning. Yes, The Trail of Tears one has to remember that these people were experts at living off the land -- both for food and for medicines, etc. But, when forced to move west beyond the Mississippi, the whole landscape (and soil -- and plants) was different. Even THAT was taken from them.
The trail of tears when the government force-marched the cherokee nation out of the eastern and southern areas like georgia westward, thousands dies from starvation and exposure. The wounded knee massacre when U.S. army troops opened up on a group of indians performing the ghost dance and killed many. The mass hanging of a large number of Sioux men whose only crime was hunting off the reservation. The use of biological warfare by giving blankets taken from smallpox victims to indian villages and tribes. The breaking of very nearly every single treaty ever signed by the U.S. government with indian nations. The corralling of indians onto reservations where the land was not farmable and the food delivered by the government was often rotten and dangerous to eat. The list goes on and on and on, a fair generalization if there is such a thing would be that during the 19th century (1800's) pretty much every time the U.S. government wanted resources or land they simply took it from the natives and anyone who got in their way they killed, there are some exceptions such as Custer's defeat at little bighorn but in general the natives were treated as if they had no rights.
Fire water, smallpox infested blankets, herded onto reservations.
