But this dominance didn’t last forever, and the American Revolution and following colonial encroachment by formerly allied English and American settlers caused their decline. They initially benefited from colonization, but it got to them eventually.

Honestly Cherokee tried the same strategy but sadly racism got them anyway despite how they adapted so much of Anglo-American standards to their own way of life.

I was about to compare to the southeastern tribes. Several of them (namely the Yamasee and Creek) initially made their wealth from selling native slaves to the English in Charleston. For the Yamasee, they eventually ran out of slaves to raid, became debted to the colonists, went into revolt, and were scattered. A number of Yamasee were evacuated to Cuba by the Spanish, which is ironically where the Timucua, Calusa, and other tribes had been evacuated to escape Yamasee slaving decades before.

I find it particularly grim that a number of Choctaw warriors had fought under Andrew Jackson in the battle of New Orleans

From what I have heard the Crow are a tribe where it somewhat did come out in their favor at the end. The Crow allied with the Americans against their enemies on the plains, and they ended up with a very large reservation compared to those who resisted the USA more heavily. Their reservation was shrunk but I have a professor who talked to a Crow tribal judge who said they made the right choice.
