Question 6 • 670101 Oklahoma History & Government – MYERS, JOSHUA A

Which of the following actions was not part of the federal government’s early “civilization” policy?

Answer
A
asking tribes to eat meals at organized times
B
teaching tribes to grow wheat and other new foods
C
encouraging tribes to speak English
D
accepting tribes equally into white communities, schools, and businesses

Explanation

Early federal “civilization” policies aimed to change Native American ways of life to resemble those of white Americans. These efforts included encouraging English, farming new crops such as wheat, and adopting practices such as eating at scheduled times. The policy did not mean accepting Native Americans equally into white communities, schools, and businesses, so D is correct.
