Indian's Reasons
They are dying and getting sick since the Europeans have come (before they were not sick and people were not dying)
They want to go to Washington DC to claim their land directly if the agents can't let them go to their own homeland
Indians want to go back to their home (Wyoming)
Willing to hunt again (not possible in Oklahoma),
hunting is Indians' main occupation
US Government's Reasons
No one can leave Indian Territory without permisssion of Washington
Impossible for the Indians to come back home (Wyoming)
The government thinks that the Natives can and will appropriate themselves to a "new home" (= Oklahoma, and forget about Wyoming)
