The two elements defined in the document are “(1) Tribal organization. (2) The Indian reserve. On the one hand, the United States government created Indian reservations, creating poor living conditions that would hinder the ability to progress at the pace the United States had intended for them. The soil, for example, in Oklahoma, where most of the reservations were located at that time, was terrible for agriculture. As a result, the Indians would starve and be in poor health. Once again, the United States has contradicted itself when it comes to Indian policy, choosing to ignore the most crucial parts of history that led to the country's poor conditions.
