In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Native Americans faced significant challenges as European settlers expanded westward, often leading to conflicts over land and resources. Many tribes attempted to adapt to European ways, engaging in trade and diplomacy, while others resisted encroachment through armed resistance. The U.S. government implemented policies that sought to assimilate Native Americans or forcibly remove them from their ancestral lands, culminating in events like the Trail of Tears. This period marked a profound transformation in Native American societies, characterized by both resilience and profound disruption.
