My topic is about Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest & i am mainly focusing on the relocation and removal of the tribes from their lands to the reservations by the Government. Im using the Library of Congress: American memories archive and specifically the collection about Native Americans in the Northwest. I've read about 15-20 of the sources on the site and i have a good starting point for what i am trying to research. Most of the primary sources in the collection happen to be annual reports from various field agents and military commanders reporting to the Bureau of Indian Affairs on the progress of the relocation process & general state of life on the reservations for the various tribes. These reports are very varied and cover a wide range of issues. Many of them seem to requisition orders from field agents asking for supplies in order to keep the reservations running smoothly and also updating the Government on their attempts to "civilize" the tribes and assimilate into the American way of life. Others are from military commanders giving accounts of various old indian wars and asking the Government on how things such as settler incursions into the reservations or how tribal raids should be handle. One of the most important documents i found in the collection was an actual executive order on how treaties with the various tribes should be handled by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and generally any settlers who came into contact with said tribes and which tribes should be bribed off their lands and which tribes should be treated with no respect at all. I am beginning to form questions based on how the  Natives themselves actually viewed the Contact with the various agents and Government officials and how society in general viewed the relocation of the Natives to the reservations
