Answer 1

Two consequences of westward expansion on native tribes are:

1. **Depletion of food supply** - As settlers moved westward, they often disrupted natural ecosystems, hunted game, and destroyed agricultural resources, leading to a significant decline in food availability for Native American tribes.

2. **Disease** - The westward expansion brought new diseases to which Native American populations had no immunity, resulting in devastating epidemics and significant loss of life among the tribes.
