Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Detail that American Indians were made citizens of the United States and given the right to vote in 1924, and in 1946 Congress established the Indians Claims Act to settle claims against the government related to land that was taken from them.
2, Describe how the civil rights movement of the 1960s created a more favorable climate for Native Americans to achieve rights, and progress was also helped by Indian activism, such as the American Indian Movement (AIM).
3, Discuss how the Indian Bill of Rights, adopted as part of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, applied most of the provisions of the Constitution's Bill of Rights to tribal governments, and how the case of Santa Clara Pueblov.Martinez in 1978 strengthened tribal self-government.
4, Note that progress was also advanced because Indians began using the courts to protect their rights.
