Question

Was the bursum bill for or against Native American rights?

Answer 1

Answer: The law was not in favor of Indian minorities.

Explanation:

The law was created in 1921. The law required non-natives to claim Indian lands on the condition that they could prove ten years of residence. There were people in the ranks of the natives who were connected with the Congress. Their representatives appealed the bill. Women Elizabeth and Martha White also joined the fight against the law. Together with the governors, their efforts gave positive results so that the law was repealed in 1923.
