It was the year 1778 that marked the beginning of a new and prosperous era for all American Indians. During that year, a new treaty was signed, at the suggestion of the U.S. government and Native American officials. This treaty allowed for tribal sovereignty in Native American nations and for those Native American tribes to have their own system of government.
