How did Adams work for fairness for Native Americans

While initially ambivalent, Adams took great interest in the Creek Indians of Georgia who were being pressured by the state's governor, George Troup, to give up their lands.

After receiving a delegation of Creeks in the capital, Adams intervened and demanded that Troup give the Indians a fairer deal for their lands, leading to the 1826 Treaty of Washington. This treaty was agreed upon between Adams and Creek leaders in Washington DC, a stark departure from previous Native American treaties which were often one-sided.
