Which phrase best completes the diagram?
Answer:
distributing tribal lands to individual Native Americans
Explanation:
Indigenous politics in the late 1880s had plans to put the government and the natives in milder relations and with less conflict. However, this should be done according to government guidelines and without taking into account the will or culture of the native tribes.
These plans encompassed the idea of sending indigenous children to attend English-language boarding schools where they were to abandon all indigenous culture and adopt Christian behaviors, distribution of tribal lands to individual Native Americans, and granting American citizenship to natives, which allowed that they have some rights.
