Answer 1

The person most commonly associated with signing treaties with Indigenous tribes to get them to move to reservations is **Isaac Stevens**. He served as the governor of the Washington Territory and was involved in treaty negotiations with various tribes during the mid-19th century. He aimed to facilitate the relocation of Indigenous peoples to reservations in exchange for land rights and various provisions. While the US Congress ultimately ratified treaties, Stevens played a significant role in the negotiations themselves.
