How were the conflicts between homesteaders and American Indians resolved in the wake of the Homestead Act?

As settlers claimed land under the Homestead Act, they increasingly clashed with American Indian communities whose lands were being occupied. The U.S. government generally used the military and other forms of force against American Indians, displacing them onto reservations and opening more land to settlement. So the conflicts were resolved through government force against American Indians, not by repealing the act or force against homesteaders.
