Indigenous Boarding Schools — Quiz

Question 9 • New Mexico History

What was a result of the Indian Self-Determination Act?

Answer
A
the creation of boarding schools by Christian missionaries
B
the loss of Indigenous lands to White settlers moving west
C
the return of educational control to the Pueblo council
D
the division of Indigenous lands into individual plots of land

Explanation

The Indian Self-Determination Act of 1975 gave Native American tribes greater authority to manage programs and services, including education, rather than having the federal government control them. This helped return educational control to tribal governments, such as the Pueblo council. The other choices describe earlier policies or events, not a result of this act.
