AHC/WI: United States treats the First Nations like the Cossacks

What if, instead of following a policy of subjugation and mass removal, the early United States instead pursued a policy regarding the Native Americans similar to that of Tsarist Russia and the Cossacks where the different tribes were allowed to retain their traditional ways of life and fertile land in exchange for military service or some other similar arrangement? What sort of PoD or set of PoDs would be necessary to make that happen?
 
The Cossacks were based in centuries of Rus' relationships with steppe peoples and were highly contextual -- the Russians couldn't afford, early on, to outright subjugate them.

The natives, who had no such contextual history with settlers, had no ability to "raid Moscow", etc, and who were dying of disease and whatnot, did not have the leverage, the cohesion or the technology to become Cossack parallels.
 
There was actually an effort to integrate Native Americans into the US Cavalry in the 1890s, it did not really work and the experiment came to a complete end in 1897.

Here is from a page on the (US) National Archives site that can be found here

REGULAR ARMY INDIAN COMPANIES

War Department General Order No. 28, issued March 9, 1891, authorized Native Americans to be enlisted in the Regular Army and serve in Indian Companies within Regular Army infantry and cavalry regiments. The order stipulated that Company I of Infantry Regiments (excluding the 24th and 25th) and Company L of Cavalry Regiments (excluding the 9th and 10th) would contain Indian soldiers. Each existing regiment of cavalry and infantry, except the Buffalo Soldiers (black regiments), would contain one Indian Regiment. A maximum of 55 Indians were authorized for each company or troop. This change was not well received by the Army, and although the general order authorized a maximum of 1,485 Indians for Regular Army service, the actual number of recruits only reached a little over half that number at 780. The Indian Company "experiment" proved to be a complete failure in the eyes of the Army, and the men of Company L of the Seventh Cavalry were the only Indian soldiers who served out their entire enlistments, serving until 1895.
