Congress passed the first Indian Appropriations Act in 1851. This act created reservations and set aside
land for specific Indigenous groups. It required the groups to confine themselves to these lands, but did
give them the right to self-government. Over time, the United States signed many more treaties, some
under threat or pressure, with Indigenous tribes.
Create an argumentative multimedia presentation to show how these freaties have negatively impacted
Indigenous Americans living today.
Your presentation must include the following elements.
State a clear topic about the impact of the treaties.
Provide five to seven details about your topic, and explain what each detail shows about the
impact of the treaties.
Draw a conclusion about your topic at the end of your presentation.
Reference three or more credible sources that provide information about your topic.
Include a works-cited or bibliography page in your presentation.
