Which of the following statements best describes the effects of the oil boom on Oklahoma’s American Indians?

The oil boom created major opportunities on tribal lands, but most tribes did not gain wealth on the scale their resources might have allowed. Federal restrictions, outside control of leases, and other barriers limited tribes’ ability to manage and profit from oil development. So the best description is that most tribes failed to capitalize on their potential wealth; it was not true that most became extremely wealthy or that oil was mostly found off tribal lands.
