How did native cultures change after the arrivals of the Europeans?

The arrival of Europeans profoundly transformed native cultures through the introduction of new technologies, trade goods, and agricultural practices, which altered traditional ways of life. Additionally, European colonization brought diseases that decimated indigenous populations, leading to significant social and cultural disruptions. Furthermore, the imposition of European political systems and religious beliefs often resulted in the erosion of native identities and practices. Overall, these changes led to a complex interplay of adaptation, resistance, and loss within native cultures.
