The correct answer is B) Native Americans lived in their traditional homelands and then were forced to live on a reservation.

The statement about Native Americans in the western United States that is accurate is "Native Americans lived in their traditional homelands and then were forced to live on reservations."

Those were the years in the United States history in which the Native American Indian tribes had many problems and serious conflicts with white settlers and the government. The Native Indians stated that those were their territories. They have been living there for thousands of years before the arrival of the white European settlers. Their ancestors lived in those lands and couldn't understand why the white colonists felt they deserved to live in those lands, moving the Native Indians to reservations.
