The arrival of new settlers in indigenous lands often led to profound changes in the culture of indigenous peoples. Many indigenous cultures were disrupted, marginalized, and in some cases, destroyed by the impact of colonization. The imposition of new languages, religions, and political systems often resulted in the loss of traditional customs, languages, and ways of life for indigenous populations. Additionally, the forced relocation and displacement of indigenous peoples from their ancestral lands further eroded their cultural practices and identities.
