They don't just settle in new land.They had to fight and explore that land.It took two years to explore the new land!

I learned that the Westward expansion impacted Native Americans by Settlers, Ranchers, Miners trespassed on tribal property. Ranchers also took all land and water resources from the Native Americans. That is what I learned about how Westward expansion impacted Native Americas land.

aidansal27 — 2025-09-19 14:08:45 UTC

Miners impacted Native Americans by breaking into their land looking for gold and silver breaking their land over 6 million miners tress passing to find gold Native Americans did not no what to do their homes were getting destroyed.

braydengol27 — 2025-09-19 14:09:49 UTC

What the U.S.Westward expansion is about is that the ranchers, the Natives took their land and water resources. for the Miners the Miners moved to the Indian country to mine gold, and for the new settlers that is about how the 6 million people bought land that was first discovered by the corps of discovery. Also the U.S. Westward is also about the Lewis and Clark expedition.

finnsaw27 — 2025-09-19 14:09:58 UTC

I learned that the people who move west took the Native people food,land and water from them.

kevincar27 — 2025-09-19 14:09:59 UTC

The ranchers,miners, and settlers impacted the Native Americans by moving West and taking all land and water sources . They also kicked Native Americans off there land. just because the wanted to grow food for the Nation and to find gold/silver. They also displaced the buffalo which made it hard for the Natives to find food.

aubreynol27 — 2025-09-19 14:10:22 UTC

Over the past few weeks I learned that miners were looking for gold and would go on land they weren't allowed on, ranchers were farmers but also fed people, and the new settlers felt that all the land was their's that was the main topic for the last few weeks. There was also a gold rush in California which flooded with 250,000 people

briannacas27 — 2025-09-19 14:11:01 UTC

Westward expansion impacted Native Americans because a lot of people came and took their land. New Settlers came and thought the land and was theirs so they took it. They also thought that their needs were most important. Miners came to the USA to find gold and silver and become rich. People who went to look for gold were often young men without their family's and were prone to violence. This terrified the Native Americans. Ranchers came and planted food for the nations growing city's. They planted their farms on Natives land. The Natives lost everything...

Their water resources and homes. They had to watch helplessly.

valentinaper27 — 2025-09-19 14:11:21 UTC

I learned that the Lewis and Clark expedition thousands of people to the west and took food and water from the native.

junipermac27 — 2025-09-19 14:11:45 UTC

I learned that the main jobs are miners and ranchers and westward expansion impacted the Native Americans a lot. We stole a lot from Native Americans during that time.

carmendib27 — 2025-09-19 14:11:56 UTC

Native Americans were effected by the ranchers because they took water resources from the Native Americans. Settlers believed they owned the land but Native Americans really owned the land. Finally miners impacted the Native Americans by tresspassing on tribal property to get gold and silver

abigailert27 — 2025-09-19 14:12:04 UTC

The westward Native American got impacted by the Ranchers,Settlers,Miners, and there young men the settlers were moving into the Native American lands for the gold rush but did not know that they were trespassing on tribe property and that caused a lot of fights. When, the Miners came to come settle for the gold rush to claim the richs. After when to Ranchers came to a attracted outsiders they made crops from the people and took the water resources and were trespassing . Also a lot of people were killed in the act.

elenacus27 — 2025-09-19 14:12:10 UTC

I learned that the Ranchers, Miners, and New settlers came and the land was filled with over 6 million people. They took the land and fought for gold and silver, they basically kicked the natives of their land and ruined their perfect way of life.

avabur27 — 2025-09-19 14:12:11 UTC

The Westward expansion impacted the Native Americans cultures in the west because they had to explore the west and they took land fight and it took them two years on there journey. They were taking the water resources and are homes for themselves.

masontul27 — 2025-09-19 14:12:41 UTC

after the Lewis and Clark expedition 6 million Americans came to the west after they knew it was safe. the settlers kicked the native Americans out of their homes and move them into smaller areas for them to live.the miners found gold and trespassed on to native Americans private property and caused a lot of violence.the ranchers had to destroy some of their land to grow crops and raise food for the nation,and deplaced their buffalo.

2025-09-19 14:12:52 UTC

I learned that the Americans impacted the Native Americans by taking there land and moving on to forbidden, tribal parts. Ranchers attracted a very large amount of Americans to moved to the Native territory. Miners went mining for gold and silver, destroying the Native's land. This caused violence between the Native Americans and the White Americans, the Americans went out of control and destroyed everything and the worst part, there was nothing the Native Americans could do about it, they watched there territory be destroyed helplessly.

elizabethsut27 — 2025-09-19 14:14:18 UTC

Native Americans got their land took by the Ranchers because the Ranchers needed a dam because 6 million people were coming west so they needed to make crops so everyone could eat. Which destroyed a lot of homes and the buffalo was misplaced.

Then settlers came and thought the land was theirs, but they were really on tribal property.

Miners were rude, selfish, and they came to California to see the gold but then they came out of hand and trespassed land that wasn't theirs.

abigaildia27 — 2025-09-19 14:17:12 UTC

This is how the westward expansion affected Native Americans.

Settlers took Native American land because they thought the land was theirs and that their needs were more important.

Ranchers made a dam to grow produce and crops for the six million people that came to the land. The effect of the dam was that all the Native Americans land was dried out due to all the water the ranchers were using.

Miners heard that there was gold and silver on Native land so they trespassed onto it. The miners also destroyed Native Americans home.

This is how the westward expansion affected Native Americans.

gigliottie1 — 2025-09-19 14:18:30 UTC

Native Americans in the West, or "Indian Country" were negatively impacted by Westward Expansion. First, over 6 million people moved to the lands first explored by Lewis and Clark. Many of these people who came were early settlers, miners, ranchers, etc. who came to the new lands to find gold, establish institutions, and grow food for the nations growing cities. Imagine what this did for Native American communities that were there for generations. Natural resources, such as buffalo, were displaced. Water resources were taken, and lands were invaded. This caused a lot of disputes among Native American communities.

isabellachi27 — 2025-09-19 14:21:33 UTC

the impact on the Natives was when the gold rush started in California and 250,000 miners were attracted to the west. but young men took it too far and were often prone to violence. But one day the young men trespassed on this one land and not knowing that it was tribal property. as you can see miners made a big impact on the Natives.

vincentgoo27 — 2025-09-19 17:25:56 UTC

This week I learned that ranchers grow crops for the cites and they rounded up all the buffole. the miners came during the gold rush and used violence if need. settlers came looking for jobs.

emmajac27 — 2025-09-19 17:27:58 UTC

The Native Americans were impacted by the settlers.More than six million people flooded the Indian country. The settlers assumed the Native Americans land was their's and they needed the land more than the Native Americans.

lukemad27 — 2025-09-19 17:28:22 UTC

Native Americans in the west lived in their Indian country until people started coming into the west after the Lewis and Clark trail. They had stolen their land and they were mad but they went to the government and they gave them some land and the Natives got small spaces. Then miners came and they were looking for gold and silver so they trespassed to find gold and they did find gold. Ranchers took their water sources and buffalo so they were stumped and they also destroyed their homes for land as well

2025-09-19 17:29:12 UTC

The New Settlers impacted the Indian Country, or West, because the Natives were getting less and less of the area for themselves, and Discovery of Gold in California began to spread rumors about it. The Natives were terrified about this, because they thought the land was theirs.

philiptho27 — 2025-09-19 17:29:39 UTC

U.S westward expansion impacted Native American culture in the West because miners went on private land and said the land was theirs. This led to them fighting over the land. Ranchers took some of the land and cut off the buffalo's water and made them go somewhere else.

vincentgoo27 — 2025-09-19 17:29:54 UTC

This week I learned that ranchers grow crops for the cites and they rounded up all the buffole. the miners came during the gold rush and used violence if need. settlers came looking for jobs.

emiliacec27 — 2025-09-19 17:30:10 UTC

The impact on the Natives was when the Minors came to invade their lands because they wanted to find some gold and silver and to move to the west. The Native Americans were not very friendly about them they were violent. They were violent because they did not want them to just take over their lands and they did not want to just leave. As you can see the Minors made a big impact on the Native Americans.

adelaidepos27 — 2025-09-19 17:30:40 UTC

I learned that U.S westward expansion negatively impacted Native American culture because the rumors of gold led to people going to the West and acting violently.

briellebog27 — 2025-09-19 17:30:41 UTC

The past week I learned Native Americans were inpacted by the westward. 6 million people came to the west after they found out it was safe and for the old rush. And miners went digging/hunting for gold and destroyed the Natives land and they also trespassed the land. Then Ranchers also made a dam for all their crops for 6 million people. They also took many of the Natives resources such as water, buffalo and more they were beyond selfish.

benjaminlud27 — 2025-09-19 17:30:52 UTC

impact on was from Americans thinking that the Native lands was theirs than a confict happed

finnmar27 — 2025-09-19 17:31:01 UTC

The Natives were affected by the expansion to the west by minors who heard rumors of gold and ranchers built dams destroying communities and displacing buffalo to grow food for the 6 million people that moved to the west new settlers came to the west and took native land because they thought there needs were more important

kingstonyou27 — 2025-09-19 17:31:01 UTC

After the Lewis and Clark expedition over 6 million people came to the West.The result of this really impacted the Native Americans.The way these people impacted the Native American is this.Miners the miners came to the west because they heard stories that there was gold and silver there.When this happen it made the Native Americans scared they made groups of young men want to come and those young men were often violent.The Ranchers moved west to raise food for the growing cities so that they wouldn't go hungry.But some of the other people that already lived in the Indian Country lost control of their land.

briellebuc27 — 2025-09-19 17:31:05 UTC

After the Lewis and Clark expedition Americans started to settle the land and find gold,and silver. This expansion changed and destroyed Native Americans ways of life.By 1904 ,more than 6 million people arrived settled onto the vast new territory.

rileybar27 — 2025-09-19 17:31:08 UTC

The impact on Native Americans was that they went threw tough times their reservations got taken away they deserved to be treated better. Native Americans land got taken over . When the gold rush came around people were trespassing on there land for gold and silver.

ariahak27 — 2025-09-19 17:31:12 UTC

I learned they took their land , water , food ,and gold and they assumed that the land was there's .

reaganwar27 — 2025-09-19 17:31:24 UTC

The impact of the native Americans was they had to move to small pieces of land and they lost their resources and then they invaded their new home.

harperwri27 — 2025-09-19 17:31:26 UTC

The Native Americans were impacted by the westward expansion many of these people were settlers,miners and ranchers and more. many came for the gold rush in California and made the Indians move and lose there buffalo

avaadd27 — 2025-09-19 17:31:29 UTC

The Native Americans were impacted by Westward expansion because the miners invaded their lands looking for silver and gold. This caused a lot of violence and fear in the tribes. Ranchers raised food for the nation and ended up taking their buffalo and water resources.

josephamb27 — 2025-09-19 17:31:54 UTC

This is how the westward expansion affected the Native Americans.

Settlers took most of the Native Americans land and they did not have a lot of room to live. Ranchers sacred away the buffalo so the Native Americans had nothing to live off of. Miners took up a lot of space so there was not that much room for the Native Americans land.

arielmar27 — 2025-09-19 18:04:28 UTC

The N.A were affected by the American and the miners want to the Wast and were going gold from the N.A and the N.A were mad and over six million new people had to move to the territory
