The Indian Removal Act of 1830 allowed for the forcible displacement of Native American tribes from their ancestral homelands to designated Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. This policy led to the forced removal and relocation of thousands of Native Americans, resulting in immense suffering and loss of life on the journey now known as the Trail of Tears. The Indian Act of 1876, Indian Appropriations Act of 1851, and Indian Land Act of 1860 were all significant pieces of legislation that impacted Native American tribes, but they did not directly authorize or require the removal of Native Americans from their lands.
