Settlement in the Hudson River Valley significantly impacted Native Americans through the loss of land, resources, and autonomy. As European settlers established farms and towns, Indigenous communities faced displacement and were often forced into treaties that favored settlers. This led to a decline in traditional ways of life, as hunting grounds and fishing areas were encroached upon. Additionally, the introduction of European diseases devastated Native populations, further diminishing their presence and influence in the region.
