Answer:

It was a massive and disruptive system that was constructed though their traditional hunting grounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Tribes increasingly came into conflict with the railroad as they attempted to defend their diminishing resources. ... In response, Native Americans sabotaged the railroad and attacked white settlements supported by the line, in an attempt to reclaim the way of life that was being taken from them."
