Answer:

The settlers farming the land

Explanation:

The arrival of Europeans greatly altered the way of life of the Native American society. All groups had some impact. However, the group that left a particularly permanent mark were the settlers who farmed the land. This was due to several reasons. The settlers farming the land were able to have more contact with Natives than other groups. They also exchanged more goods and crops with them. Finally, they were also the groups most often in conflict, as land was often desired by both groups.
