The most immediate impact on Native Americans living on the Great Plains was the westward expansion of European settlers after the U.S. government acquired the land through treaties and military force, particularly following the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and the California Gold Rush in 1849. This expansion led to significant loss of land, disruption of traditional hunting grounds, and the spread of disease, which decimated Native populations. Additionally, the construction of railroads and the establishment of reservations further marginalized Indigenous communities, forcing them into confined areas and altering their way of life.
