Why did the US government continue to use a reservation system for American Indians in the West? Check the possible reasons.

White settlers wanted land in the West, and reservations helped the government confine American Indians to specific areas as settlers moved onto their lands. The government continued using this approach because it had relied on reservations for a long time to manage relations with American Indian tribes. Most tribes did not generally want to live on reservations, and reservations did not restore lands lost during the colonial era.
