How did westward expansion affect Native American tribes?
the tribes also went west but eventually they had less land and were competing for resources and helping other tribes while the europeans began killing the tribes.
Welcome to Open Study The Native Americans were ignored and pushed farther to the West also, resulting with them having less land. Before expansion, Native Americans never fought with each other because there was so much open land for them to settle on so when they got a little too close borders, they simply moved elsewhere. But, western expansion pushed them west leaving them with less land, and therefore, they had to compete for resources and such among other tribes. So it caused rivalry and competition among the many tribes and also among the settlers. Hope this helps source:Yahoo!
