Which of the following is not a result of the Indian Appropriations Act of 1871? Select the correct answer.

The Indian Appropriations Act of 1871 ended the federal government’s practice of making treaties with American Indian nations. It also reflected the government’s treatment of American Indians as wards rather than as sovereign nations. The act did not return large areas of land to American Indian groups, so that is the choice that was not a result.
