Many American Indians in the mountain states faced significant upheaval due to westward expansion, which led to the loss of their ancestral lands and resources. Forced relocation, such as the Trail of Tears, and the establishment of reservations drastically impacted their communities and cultures. Additionally, they encountered violence and attempts at assimilation, which further eroded their traditional ways of life. Despite these challenges, many tribes have worked to preserve their heritage and advocate for their rights in contemporary society.
