Indigenous People on a Closing Frontier

Question 12 • SSHS IUS002 US History II

What is one way US reservation policy was harmful to Indigenous peoples?

Answer
A
Reservations deprived them of resources.
B
Reservations were too large to maintain control over the land.
C
Indigenous peoples were not used to living in communities.
D
Indigenous peoples were used to working in factories.

Explanation

Reservation policy often forced Indigenous peoples onto limited areas of land and restricted their access to traditional hunting grounds, water, and other resources. This harmed their ability to support their communities and maintain their ways of life, so “Reservations deprived them of resources” is correct. The other choices do not describe the main harm of reservation policy.
