Indian Removal Act

The Indian Removal Act (IRA) facilitated the relocation of Native Americans to the west, leading to significant socioeconomic challenges. Today, many Native Americans live in poverty, with an average income of $33,132 and inadequate access to healthcare and insurance. Despite governmental efforts to improve healthcare affordability for Native Americans, issues such as racism and bias hinder progress. In contrast, the average American family earns approximately $44,383, highlighting the disparities. The IRA is widely seen as unjustified due to its negative impact on Native American communities.
