What issues did the native Americans face during the 19th century?

During the 19th century, Native Americans faced significant challenges, including forced removal from their ancestral lands due to policies like the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This led to events such as the Trail of Tears, where thousands died during forced relocations. Additionally, they experienced cultural disruption, loss of sovereignty, and violence from settlers and the U.S. government, which sought to assimilate them and exploit their resources. Economic hardships and devastating impacts from treaties often resulted in marginalization and poverty for many Native communities.
