^{What were the problems that existed in the negotiations between Anglo-Americans and Native Americans during the 1830s-1850s?}

Land Disputes: The main source of conflict was land. Anglo-Americans wanted to get more land for their, agriculture, and resource extraction, with often treaties that were not always negotiated in good terms. This led to the removal of Native American tribes from their own lands.

Broken treaties: Many treaties and agreements between the two parties were broken or changed by the government and settlers, leading to loss of trust and tension between one another.

^{How much of these issues could be attributed to a clash of perspectives?}

The Anglo-American perspective wanted westward expansion, economic development, and land ownership. For the Native American, their perspectives were deeply rooted in communal land use, spiritual and cultural importance of the land, and making decision as a unity.

_{Why would the American government go to the trouble of creating the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty just to break it by ordering the military into protected land? (evidence should reference the 1851 Fort Laramie Treaty also)}

They failed to keep these treaties because of several factors, including the desire for access to valuable resources such as gold, timber, and land for settlement and expansion.

With The government's failure to deliver needs for the natives in the 1851 treaty, it resulted in the 1868 treaty.

Following the Colorado Gold Rush, the US government renegotiated with the Natives, leading to the signing of the Treaty of Fort Wise in 1861.

The new treaty caused a division within both tribes and increased hostilities, and soon leading to tragedies like the Sand Creek Massacre.
