Colonizers challenged tribal sovereignty by allowing Indigenous peoples to negotiate with the American government fairly and allowing them to keep living on their land.

This statement is not accurate. In reality, colonizers often disregarded tribal sovereignty and forcibly removed Indigenous peoples from their land. Treaties negotiated between tribes and the U.S. government were often broken or ignored, leading to the loss of land and resources for Indigenous peoples. The introduction of diseases and the imposition of assimilation policies further weakened tribal sovereignty and disrupted traditional ways of life.
