Read the excerpt from "Rebuilding the Cherokee Nation.” So from 1906 and 1907, when Oklahoma became a state, and until 1971, we didn’t elect our own tribal leaders.

It’s interesting to see how our people began to view leadership during this period of time from 1906-1907 to 1971. They began to see Chiefs of the Cherokees as something external to themselves; a position that only very prominent people who had little connection to the tribe could aspire to or hold.

Our people are very tenacious, and it was that tenacity that I saw as a strength we could build on. Which sentence best integrates a direct quotation from the excerpt?
