Source: American Indian activists, draft manifesto for the 'Trail of Broken Treaties' caravan, 1972

'We seek a new treaty relationship with the United States government. The Native American people are not seeking charity; we are demanding justice and the restoration of our sovereign rights. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has failed to protect our lands, our resources, and our cultures. We call for the abolition of the government's termination policies and a return to the recognition of our treaty rights as sovereign nations. Only through self-determination can our people find their rightful place in modern America.'

    Promoting the assimilation of Native Americans into mainstream suburban society

  4. D
    Relying on the expansion of Great Society welfare programs to resolve reservation poverty

Cevap

Securing tribal self-determination and the restoration of treaty rights
The correct answer is correct because the activists in the excerpt demand self-determination and the enforcement of sovereign treaty rights, which were the central objectives of Native American advocacy and the American Indian Movement (AIM) during the civil rights era of the 1960s and 1970s.
