There were several reasons actually. First of all, there was a war before. As it is well known, wars are very expensive. Soldiers needed to be equipped, soldiers need to be paid, etc. Then came the need to pay for heavy costs. Who to tax? For some reason the Colonies were chosen, perhaps as the war was quite literally fought by the colonies.

The federal government and several groups of American Indians had negative relationships throughout the 19th and 20th century.

Along with this, there were several military encounters between the two (like Custer's Last Stand).
