Which tribe attempted to co-exist with Americans by giving up their concept of common property?

The Cherokee tribe, one of the prominent Native American nations in the southeastern United States, is known for its attempts to coexist with American settlers during the 19th century. They made significant efforts to adapt to European-American ways of living, which included adopting a written language, establishing a constitution, and even engaging in agriculture and trade that mirrored European practices.

One of the critical aspects of this adaptation was the shifting away from their traditional concept of common property. The Cherokee began to embrace individual land ownership as a means to align with American legal and cultural norms, which was a departure from their communal approach to land use. This strategy was an effort to secure their land rights and reduce the pressure from encroaching settlers and government policies that sought to remove them from their ancestral lands.

The other tribes listed, such as the Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole, had different responses and experiences during this period. While they also engaged with American society, the Cherokee are particularly noted for their attempts at assimilation through changes in land ownership concepts.
