Hi Kulwinder...hope your school year is coming along terrific.
To begin with...you will need to clarify some parts of your question.
Is there a specific time period your question is reflecting? 1700's? 1800's? 1900's? 2000's?
Additionally, identify or specific 'west'? West of the East Coast? Kentucky? Ohio? Georgia? Indiana? West of the Mississippi? The Great Plains? Oklahoma? Texas? New Mexico? Utah? Colorado? North/South Dakota? Montana? New Mexico? Arizona?
West of the Continental Divide/Rock Mountains? Washington? Oregon? California?
There are a great number of federal policies which had a major impact on Native America communities, before they were recognized as US citizens...before they were given the right to vote...despite serving in the US military in a number of wars.
I will be willing to help...however, it would help if you clarified some topics.
You are welcome to connect with me.
