Answer 1

The correct response to analyze the challenges to tribal sovereignty posed by colonizers in the early United States is:

"Colonizers challenged tribal sovereignty by stealing land and introducing diseases, plants, and animals that devastated Indigenous land and peoples."

This statement accurately reflects the historical context of colonization, wherein Indigenous tribes faced significant threats to their sovereignty through land dispossession, the spread of diseases brought by Europeans, and ecological changes that disrupted their traditional ways of life.

Other responses presented either mischaracterize the relationship between colonizers and Indigenous tribes or overlook the substantial and often violent challenges to Indigenous sovereignty. The historical record shows that American colonizers frequently engaged in actions that undermined Indigenous autonomy and rights.
