How did Indigenous people react to American settlers in the late 1700s and early 1800s?

As American settlers moved west in the late 1700s and early 1800s, they occupied Indigenous lands and competed for resources. This expansion often led to conflict and displacement, so the best answer is that American settlers and Indigenous people often clashed. The claim that settlement had little effect or that the groups lived in peaceful coexistence overlooks these conflicts.
