Some benefits that arose from the Trail of Tears include the recognition of the rights of indigenous peoples, more favorable land-lease treaties, and the founding of new government agencies dedicated to protecting the interests of Native Americans. Additionally, the Indian Removal Act of 1830 was overturned, and tribal sovereignty has since been recognizes as a right by the U.S. government. The displacement also brought Native American tribes closer together, as well as increased contact with European-American settlers and increased trade among native nations.

The Trail of Tears did bring some benefit to the Indian tribes involved. One benefit was that it increased the size of the Indian territory and it created an unprecedented political unity among the tribes. It also brought many of the Eastern tribes in direct contact with white culture, which changed the way of life for many tribes in the years that followed. Moreover, many treaties were drawn up to guarantee the safety of tribes, such as the treaty of 1833 which stipulated that all tribes within the territory would be protected by the federal government.
