Describe how the building of railroads impacted the lives of American Indians
Railroads being built benefitted American Indian tribes. They were given a choice to remain in the areas surrounding railroad stations. The effect of railroad development on the American Indian's way of life was only positive.
Railroads being built led to settlement of lands previously inhabited by American Indian tribes and led to the loss of bison herds, which sustained a way of life for many American Indian tribes. Loss of the bison forced the Plains tribes to move to reservations and adapt a new way of life.
