The Plains Indians were negatively impacted by the belief of American Manifest Destiny. They were forced to sell off their lands to the American government for the production of the Transcontinental Railroad, resulting in their relocation from the Midwest to farther west. Additionally, despite being promised that they could live on their Western lands forever, the United States continuously pressured them to sign new treaties giving up their lands. This led to a loss of their tribal territories and a disruption of their traditional way of life.
