How would a large population of native Americans in a Western State in 1869 have affected that states representation in Congress?

In 1869, a large population of Native Americans in a Western state would have influenced that state's representation in Congress primarily through the apportionment of congressional seats based on population. However, due to the lack of citizenship rights for Native Americans at the time, they would not have been counted in the census for representation purposes. This exclusion would have resulted in lower congressional representation for the state compared to if Native Americans had been counted as part of the population. Additionally, the political dynamics of the state could have been affected by Native American interests and governance, potentially influencing local and national policies.
