Answer:
The correct answer is A. Due to geographic and political factors, present-day transportation between countries in Southwest Asia is primarily by air.
Explanation:
Southeast Asia consists of mainland Indochina, Thailand and Myanmar, the Malaysian Peninsula, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Eleven independent states with diverse populations and cultures are located in the area. More than 700 million people live in the region, around 8% of the world's population. In the north (Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia) the culture of the majority is based on Theravada Buddhism. The south (Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia) is in a large majority part of the Islamic world. In the east of Indochina (Vietnam), Chinese culture is dominant and the Philippines have strong European and American influences. Although the culture of Southeast Asia partly originates from that of China and India, the region has its own different, cultural, social, religious and political traditions. Current Southeast Asia (with the exception of Burma) is an area of rapid economic growth, which is reflected in increased prosperity and rapid urbanization. The countries of the region are economically united in the ASEAN partnership, which is committed to more economic growth and peaceful cooperation.

Answer:
The U.S. government made reservations the centerpiece of Indian policy around 1850, and thereafter reserves became a major bone of contention between natives and non-natives in the Pacific Northwest. However, they did not define the lives of all Indians. Many natives lived off of reservations, for example. One estimate for 1900 is that more than half of all Puget Sound Indians lived away from reservations. Many of these natives were part of families that included non-Indians and children of mixed parentage, and most worked as laborers in the non-Indian economy. They were joined by Indians who migrated seasonally away from reservations, and also from as far away as British Columbia. As Alexandra Harmon's article "Lines in Sand" makes clear, the boundaries between "Indian" and "non-Indian," and between different native groups, were fluid and difficult to fix. Reservations could not bound all Northwest Indians any more than others kinds of borders and lines could.
