Question 1 • CA-Ethnic Studies

How did the 1975 Indian Self-Determination Act impact Indigenous activism?

Answer

It generated outrage within the movement and led to the occupation of the town of Wounded Knee.

It caused the public to lose interest in the movement and led to a federal policy of tribal termination.

It created momentum for the movement and led to a five-month march known as the Longest Walk.

It accomplished the goals of the movement and led to a gradual disinterest in organizing further protests.

Explanation

The Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 gave tribes more control over programs and services previously managed by the federal government. It supported the growing momentum of Indigenous activism, which continued with protests such as the Longest Walk in 1978, a five-month march to Washington, D.C. Wounded Knee was occupied in 1973, before the act was passed, so choice A reverses the timeline.
