This was when the Treaty of Echota was brought up, which meant if the Natives traveled to Oklahoma they would keep that land, along with $5 million. Many did not agree to this, which lead to the Trail of Tears, which forced the Natives that did not move west, to walk there in extreme conditions, with little food or water. The Trail of Tears killed most of the Native Americans that took this journey.
