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. Chiefs of the Cherokee Nation and some of the other, well they call them Southeastern tribes; by now they were in Indian Territory; our Chiefs were appointed by the President of the United States, and usually for no good purpose. They were appointed so they could sign easements or give away land, or other resources of the tribes. . . . 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. Which sentence best integrates a direct quotation from the excerpt?

A
According to Mankiller, the Cherokee viewed “leadership during this period” as people who had little connection to the tribe, because the chiefs were appointed by the US president rather than being elected by the tribe.
B
Because Chiefs of the Cherokee Nation for most of the 1900s were appointed by the US president, tribe members saw the position as one “only very prominent people who had little connection to the tribe could aspire to,” Mankiller explains.
C
Mankiller said that, from 1906 to 1971, the Cherokee saw the Chiefs as something “external” to themselves, because the chiefs were “prominent” people who had no connection to the tribe.
D
Mankiller acknowledges some resentment among the tribe’s members that the people chosen to be Chiefs of the Cherokees in the 1900s were “only very prominent people who had little connection to the tribe.”

Read the excerpt from "Rebuilding the Cherokee Nation.” I’ve been very fortunate to be able to travel extensively in this country and abroad, and I can tell you that even though our people are very fragmented today, we still, in the more traditional communities still have a sense of interdependence.

Read the excerpt from "Rebuilding the Cherokee Nation.” Some people will tell you those treaties aren’t valid anymore and they should be ignored simply because they’re old, and obviously . . . that argument makes little sense. There are lots of world documents that are very old and just because they’re old and because of their age doesn’t mean that they’re any less valid. The United States Constitution is very old.

The United States Constitution was created many years ago. Therefore, it should be ignored if people feel that old treaties should not be honored because of their age, says Mankiller.

Read the excerpt from "Rebuilding the Cherokee Nation.” Another thing that I saw was great leadership in our communities, and leadership again, it’s kind of like the way I talked about looking at government. Our government may have not looked like the US government, but it’s a government and the leadership we saw in our communities may not have looked like leadership that you see in the external world, but the leadership existed. You could find the leadership just by seeing who people go to when there’s a time of crisis in the community. Which sentence best integrates a direct quotation from the excerpt?

Read the excerpt from "Rebuilding the Cherokee Nation.” One of the things that I saw, just as if you look at what happened after the Trail of Tears, you can look at some of the positive things that happened among our people. What I looked at in our communities is I saw among our people—they had unbelievable tenacity. Our tribe is one of the most acculturated tribes in the country, and yet there are thousands of people who still speak Cherokee.
