the indians were worse off under the reservation laws becouse it restricted the way they lived where they got their main food source from the wild now thier wild was restricted and if they went out of their "yard" then they could get killed they were treated like animals some of the benifits were is that they had a safe zone so to speack and they were able to go int hideing you could say they had a place to call their own even though it may be like a prision well as mentiond above the food is to easly ran out then they would have to migrate but they cant go but where they are told by the goverment so they had problems and they were not aloud to do any thing but what they are told witch means no moveing and that is how their ancestors survuved so we dont realize it but we are cutting off their watter supply and thier food supply and their traditions this is overall not a good situation but it is how it is
