The Enlightenment was an intellectual movement in the 17th and 18th centuries that emphasized reason, individualism, and scientific inquiry, challenging traditional authority and promoting ideas of liberty and equality. In American Indian societies, Enlightenment ideas influenced some tribes to adopt new political structures and educational practices, encouraging them to adapt to European-American cultural norms. Additionally, these ideas fueled the desire for sovereignty and self-determination among Indigenous peoples, as they sought to assert their rights and negotiate their place in a rapidly changing world. However, the Enlightenment's emphasis on progress often overlooked Indigenous perspectives and contributed to the justification of colonial expansion.
