Colonizers challenged tribal sovereignty in the early United States by enacting policies and laws that undermined tribal autonomy and rights. The U.S. government often refused to recognize Indigenous sovereignty over their land, leading to forced removal of tribes from their ancestral territories. Treaties were frequently broken or renegotiated to the detriment of Indigenous nations, resulting in loss of land, resources, and self-governance. Additionally, colonizers imposed policies such as the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the Dawes Act of 1887 which aimed to assimilate Indigenous peoples into mainstream American society and erode tribal sovereignty. Overall, the colonizers' actions served to weaken and diminish tribal sovereignty in the early United States.
