Section five of the Dawes Act states that U.S. can hold the land that was allotted to the Native American people, for twenty-five years in trust for their own use and benefit. It also stated that the president of the United States can extend this period

Cobb (2005) defines sovereignty as “a nation’s power to self-govern, to determine its own way of life, and to live that life---to whatever extent possible---free from interference.” If tribal sovereignty falls under Cobb’s definition, Native American tribes in the United States are not completely sovereign, for some aspects of their lives are still under the control of the federal government.

Being pursued for nearly thirty years, the relocation of the Indians was desired primarily for pecuniary advantages and the termination of the contention between white settlers and “dangerous” Native Americans.

At the beginning of the 1830s, almost 125,000 Native Americans resided on millions of acres of land that had been inhabited and cultivated by their ancestors for generations. Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, and Florida were all a part of their home. However, by the end of the decade, little to none remained in the southeastern area of the United States. The federal government had forced most of them out of their land and to walk thousands of miles to an area specially designated as “Indian

Mississippi River had to move west of the Mississippi River. This affected the 5 tribes which were called; Cherokee, Seminole, Chickasaw, Creeks, and the Choctaw tribes. The reason President Jackson signed this act was to make the lands available for white settlers. By signing the Indian Removal Act, President Jackson negatively impacted the health and welfare of the Native Americans.

Simon, for instance, battles with himself about the 'beast'. When the discussion about the beast goes on in chapter five, Simon is hesitant on explaining about the beast. From his line “maybe there is a beast” (pg. 89), he struggles to explain to everyone what he thought the beast really is.
