Question 45 • World History and Geography

How did the Treaty of Guadalupe impact Indigenous people living in New Mexico?

Answer
A
Indigenous people faced displacement from their lands.
B
Indigenous governments were recognized as equal to US authorities.
C
Indigenous people were granted full control over their lands.
D
Indigenous people were forced to move to Mexico.

Explanation

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo transferred New Mexico from Mexico to the United States in 1848. Although it addressed the rights of Mexican residents, Indigenous peoples’ land claims were often disregarded as U.S. control expanded, leading to loss of land and displacement. The treaty did not give Indigenous governments equal authority or full control over their lands, and it did not require them to move to Mexico.
