Explanation

The Medicine Lodge treaties of 1867 established reservations for several Plains tribes and included a U.S. promise to protect them from outside intrusion, including white settlers encroaching on their lands. That promise was frequently broken, but it was part of the treaty. So the best answer is D, protection from white encroachment.
