Explanation:

The Fort Smith Council of September 1865, was an assembly made in Fort Smith, Arkansas after the Civil War, to restore relations between the Native American tribes and the federal government represented by the commissioner Dennis N. Cooley and four other delegates.

In the assembly Cooley stated that the tribes that supported the Confederacy  had violated their agreement with the Union so all previous treaties were invalid, and new treaties had to be made. The federal government stated seven points to restore relations, which included the abolition of slavery and the formal incorporation of freedmen to the tribes, surrender of portion of lands to relocate Kansas tribes into Indian Territory, the creation of a government in Indian Territory, the exclusion of whites from Indian lands, and permanent peace and amity between tribes, and between tribes and the United States.

Although the tribes had trouble accepting this points and found them controversial, this assembly opened up negotiations between the Federal Government and the Native American tribes.
