The first people into the West were the mountain men. These were the fur trappers who followed the animals for pelts and kept going further West as the animals were given became harder to find. Many of these men lived with various tribes and went into places like Yosemite before anyone else.

The settlement in the west affected the native Americans that lived there because once us Americans kept on pushing west after making Ohio a state we pushed into new areas .we settled in the territory of Indiana and other lands further west and the tide of settlement had a grave impact on native Americans like exposing them to disease's such as small pox,measles,and influenza killed thousands of them.and settlers took over a large part of there hunting grounds.took the forest for there farming. native Americans tradition,pover,home,life,and population declined.and that's how the settlement in the west affected the native Americans)
Mountain men played a crucial role in opening up the West for later settlement by exploring and mapping vast areas of the Rocky Mountains and beyond. They established key trails, such as the Oregon Trail, which facilitated the movement of settlers and goods. Their fur trapping and trading activities provided valuable information about the land's resources and conditions, attracting pioneers and settlers looking for new opportunities. Additionally, their interactions with Native American tribes helped to forge relationships that would influence future migration patterns.
