Answer:
The Indian Removal Act
Explanation:
The Indian Removal Act was promoted, and signed into law by president Andrew Jackson ini 1930. The Act allowed the president to negotiate with several native american nations (the Cherokee, the Choctaw, the Chicasaw, etc) who lived in the southeastern United States for their removal from those areas, and their relocation to a new designated Indian Territory west of the Mississippi river (mostly in Oklahoma).
The Indian Removal Act caused the death of thousands of Native Americans who died of starvation and disease during their removal. This event is known as the Trail of Tears and is considered a genocide by many contemporary historians.
Southern Tundra is not a major physical feature of South America.
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
The main physical geographic feature of South America consists of mountains and highlands, coastal plains and river basins. Patagonian Plateau, Andes Mountains, and Brazilian Highlands come under the mountains and highlands category.
Tundra is a region that is found between ice-covered poles and coniferous forests in the northern hemisphere. Since it is covered with ice so coastal Antarctica also considered as the tundra region. Tundra literally gives meaning as treeless land. Also, in the winter season is not suitable for all species, only a few plants and animals can survive here.
Under the shamefully misguided idea of “Kill the Indian and Save the Man,” federal laws and policies prohibited tribes from practicing their religion and ceremonies, laws that were not fully repealed until the 1978 American Indian Religious Freedom Act, later amended to protect the Native American Church’s ceremonial use of peyote in 1994. Tribes lacked control of their own ceremonial items and even their human remains until the 1990 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act required federal agencies and institutions that receive federal funding to return Native American "cultural items" to their descendants and tribes.
The trauma and persecution endured by elder Native generations led to a breakdown of the Native family and tribal structure and a weakening of spiritual ties. Many Natives who attended boarding schools lost their sense of self through enforced shaming of their cultural identity. As a result, their children were raised with little awareness of their Native heritage and became disconnected from their tribal ways of knowing.
Today, many tribes in the United States are reviving their traditions and cultures. Central to this cultural renaissance is the importance of language and ceremony. A number of tribes have created language learning programs to preserve and pass on their tribal dialects to future generations. Ceremonies returned into practice, local radio stations began broadcasting in Native languages, pow-wows became an inter-tribal gathering space, and a new native generation is taught to live with dignity, character and pride. Running Strong supports several Native communities that are part of this movement, which brings strength and healing, and hope to today’s American Indian youth.
