What effect did mining have on Native American Land?
I think that the main reason why the gold rush affected the Indians is that most people travelled though the Indian plains. They did this because the gold was found in California the other side of the plains. This had great consequences like the Americans eating the buffalo and so the Indians had no food. Along the way to the gold rush the Americans made a trail. Along this trail the Americans set up their bases. This meant that the Indians were slowly losing their land. Although so of the Indians made a profit from this form sell goods like food, water elc.
Another reason on how the gold rush affected the Indians was. When the Indians were trying to defend their land they often got killed. This meant that more Indians got involved to save their friends (and family). This also meant that allot of Indians got killed. Some even got pushed out of their land. This meant they were then on some else's land and most likely got killed.
Another reason why the Indians were affected by the gold rush was that they couldn't speak American (English). This meant that they couldn't go and get gold and become rich.

Flint rock is a hard, sedimentary cryptocrystalline form of silica, primarily composed of silicon dioxide. It is characterized by its glassy texture, conchoidal fracture, and ability to produce sharp edges when fractured.
