Scarcity is the central concept in the study of economics. Individuals demand products to satisfy their needs. Those products are elaborated using certain resources that are scarce hence, limited. Therefore, economics is the science that studies the allocation of products for consumer satisfaction given that the supply of resources is scarce.

The opportunity cost is defined as the cost of the best alternative that has been rejected when making a decision in an environment of scarcity. For example, considering that money is the scarce resource, a consumer can only afford to either buy one orange or two pears. He knows that the orange would provide a higher satisfaction to him and buys it. Therefore, the rejected alternative, the two pears, consitute the opportunity cost. If there was no scarcity, this consumer would have been able to purchase the two options, not only the most preferred.

The Indian Appropriations Act of 1871 encouraged assimilation with the provision that
Ierofanga [76]

The Indian Appropiation Act contained several acts enacted by the US Congress between the late 19th century and the early 20th century.

One of the most outstanding acts was the Indian Appropriations Act from 1871. According to it, Indians would not be treated anymore as an "independent nation, tribe, or power". In turn, Indians would be considered as "wards" of the federal goverment. This provision considers Indians somehow like children, as if they needed a tutor.

From this moment onwards, the US goverment did not have to mantain endless negotiations to sign treaties with the different Indian tribes. Also treaties that had been signed before the Act were not enforceable anymore.

The act made much easier for the US government to exercise control over lands which were previously dominated by the Indians.
