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 resistance, rather than having little effect or producing lasting peaceful coexistence. Therefore, the correct choice is “American settlers and Indigenous people often clashed as settlement spread across the West during that era.”
