[edit] NPOV edit

I am removing the phrase "the policy of genocide and racial cleansing" from the first paragraph for two reasons. First, a territory is not a policy; that makes no logical sense. Second, the question of whether the policies that led to the more-or-less forced removal of Native Americans to the Indian territory amounted to genocide or racial cleansing ought to be discussed under Indian Removal, it seems to me, or in a separate section of this article. But it doesn't belong in the opening definition of the IT, which is a geographic area. --Textorus 21:21, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


The map and the discussion of IT makes it appear that Indian terr was born fully assined as shown in the map. In fact the division of lands for the various tribes evolved over a period of years. Most all of IT was originally assigned to the "5 civilized tribes", and much of their territory was taken away as additional tribes were moved into IT. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.79.146.92 (talk) 19:04, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
