I hope this kinda helps... Well, most Native Americans (including the Plains Indians) were forced onto reservations as a result of western exploration. This began during the Jacksonian era (Cherokee tribe, Georgia, Trail of Tears) and continued throughout the 1800s. While some tribes did what they were told and moved onto small reservations and became farmers, some of the Plains Indians fought back. A big think for the Americans was to "civilize" these Native Americans - the Americans thought that they needed to teach the Native Americans to farm, and settle and live the "proper lifestyle." Obviously, the Plains Indians just wanted to live their lives according to their traditions and customs.
Two major things that really hurt the Plains Indians was the Wounded Knee Massacre (and all the other battles in which the Americans were able to dominate using guns vs. primitive weapons) and the Buffalo Bonanza that began with Western Expansion.
While the Native Americans killed buffalo based on need and used every part of the buffalo for different purposes, the Americans got into buffalo hide (making clothes/etc out of it) and would kill them for sport. Buffalo Bill is a famous hunter who killed tons of buffalo in such a short amount of time that he depleted the buffalo population significantly and the Plains Indians were one of the groups that suffered.
So basically, the Plains Indians were more stubborn in giving up their lifestyle and unfortunately paid the price with their lives.
The displacement and slaughter of Native Americans.
Westward expansion had many effects on America. Many things developed such as the Pony Express, and other new forms of transportation such as the Continental Railroad. Although those were positive, some negative effects were how the Americans moving west drived native Americans out of their tribal lands and onto reservations. the wars with native Americans killed many of them.
because the settlers were encroaching on the natives lands, and they wanted it back
Well, when we talk about the consequences of western expansion for Native Americans, we must remember the deep impact it had on their way of life. Many tribes were forced off their ancestral lands, leading to loss of culture, traditions, and connection to the earth. It's important to acknowledge this painful history and work towards healing and understanding between all people.

Native Americans were forced out of their homes during the expansion.
It wasn't! The Western Expansion happened because of opportunity and greed. If the Native Americans hadn't been so nice we (white people) would still be confined to the east coast.

The Indian Removal Act forced the Native Americans to move on to reservations, while their children were taken and forced to abandon their religion, culture, and language.
The Native Americans attempted to preserve their homelands from westward expansion, but would not succeed because there was a lack of unity, lack of leadership, and a diminishing culture.
