Answer:

Generally only high status prisoners of war were sacrificed, with lower status captives being used for labour. Human sacrifice among the Maya is evident from at least the Classic period (c. AD 250–900) right through to the final stages of the Spanish conquest in the 17th century.

What three major acts of Congress most affected the relationship between tribal government and the United States government?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

  1. Demarcation of indigenous lands.
  2. Permission of political rights for indigenous peoples.
  3. Indian Reorganization Act formulation

Explanation:

In 1887 the American Congress promoted the demarcation of indigenous lands. The demarcation promoted the existence of indigenous reserves, where the natives had to move to a specific territory that was demarcated as an indigenous reserve. This act greatly weakened the relationship between the Americans and the indigenous tribes, since the tribes saw this act as harmful. During that time, the indigenous people were subjected to a forced assimilation by American culture. Children were forced to study in regular schools, where they were punished for wearing the typical clothes of their tribes, or to speak their native languages, for example.

In 1924, the congress decided to provide political rights to indigenous people through the Citizenship Act. At that time, indigenous people were considered American citizens. This act was not welcomed by the indigenous community, which was afraid that it would take away the status of the indigenous community as the original community of that country.

In 1934, the congress approved the Indian Reorganization Act, which allowed tribes to adopt their own constitutions, giving indigenous people the right to discuss their territories, conditions for obtaining tribe member status, the possibility of establishing powers, documents, eligibility, among other rights.
