Answer 1

Correct answer: "Colonizers challenged tribal sovereignty by stealing land and introducing diseases that devastated Indigenous land and peoples."

Brief explanation: European/American settlers seized land through broken treaties, forced removal, and violence while legal doctrines and state actions denied tribes full authority over their territory. Epidemics introduced by Europeans drastically reduced Indigenous populations and disrupted social and political structures, further undermining tribal sovereignty.
