Answer 1

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

Brief explanation: European/American colonizers seized territory through wars, forced removals, fraudulent or coerced treaties, and legal doctrines (e.g., Doctrine of Discovery, Johnson v. M'Intosh), while introduced diseases and settler expansion devastated Indigenous populations and undermined their ability to exercise sovereign authority.
