This test is open note and open book. You may NOT do a Google search and ALL WORK MUST BE YOUR OWN understanding. If you have paper copy notes, you may use those as well. GoGuardian will be running a blocked scene that will only allow the test, & resources posted through GC.
Read each question carefully.
If a question has boxes to check, that means there are multiple correct answers. If a question has a circle to select, it means there is one correct answer.
If asked a short answer question, follow the RACE strategy (restate, answer, cite, explain) and make sure you follow the rules of English conventions (spelling, grammar/usage, capitalization, punctuation) as errors do impact meaning.
Do your best. When finished, submit the test on Formative and Google Classroom.

Chief Joseph knew there would be consequences of this action and took his people to the Bear Paw Mountains, where bloody battles raged until Chief Joseph reconigzed he could not win and too much had been lost, and he surrendered to the US Army. They were eventually returned to the Colville Reservation. |
Nez Perce War | arrow_right_alt | In an effort to encourage ownership of land while also protecting native rights, Congressed passed this act. It gave natives a piece of land to own, but because of the difference of cultural values, this was not successful.

Indian Homestead Act | arrow_right_alt | Also known as the "General Allotment Act", this law divided reservation land into individual allotments and encouraged natives to become farmers. However, lands given to the natives were not good for farming. Also, natives could apply to become citizens once they got the land, but only if they gave up all of their rights and tribal ties. This led to encouragement of assimilation and the idea of bording schools where young native children learned the white ways. |

ARTICLE 9.
The said tribes and bands acknowledge their dependence on the Government of the United States, and promise to be friendly with all citizens thereof; and they pledge themselves to commit no depredations on the property of such citizens. And should any one or more of them violate this pledge, and the fact be satisfactorily proven before the agent, the property taken shall be returned, or in default thereof, or if injured or destroyed, compensation may be made by the
Government out of their annuities. Nor will they make war on any other tribe, except in self-defence, but will submit all matters of difference between them and other Indians to the Government of the United States, or its agent, for decision, and abide thereby. And if any of the said Indians commit any depredations on any other Indians within the Territory, the same rule shall prevail as that prescribed in this article in cases of depredations against citizens. And the said tribes agree not to shelter or conceal offenders against the United States, but to deliver them up for trial by the authorities.
