These treaties ignored the indigenous people and their rights, only focusing on dividing land between European countries and later American colonizers. Indigenous people were often forced to give up their traditional territories and move to designated reservations or lands that were undesirable or unproductive. These treaties also did not allow Indigenous people to practice their own cultures, languages, and spiritual traditions, often promoting assimilation and forcing them to adopt European or American ways of life. Overall, these treaties were highly unfair and exploitative, resulting in the displacement and marginalization of Indigenous communities.
