I want to know the answer to the following question:
What legislative act provided that no Indian nation shall be acknowledged as an independent nation with whom the United States may contract by treaty?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Prior to 1871, the government of the United States regularly entered into treaties with Native Americans but the Indian Appropriations Act of March 3, 1871 (ch. 120, 16 Stat.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
