Question 8 • WA-Washington State History (HS)

The Treaty of Yakama forced Yakama people to cede

Answer
A
a vast majority of land to the US government.
B
a small minority of land to the US government.
C
its rights to all ancestral lands in central Washington.
D
its rights to gold on the reservation in central Washington.

Explanation

The 1855 Treaty of Yakama transferred a very large area of land in central Washington to the United States, while setting aside a much smaller reservation for the Yakama people. So the treaty forced them to cede a vast majority of their land, not all ancestral lands or their rights to reservation gold.
