Answer 1

The previous three options are correct. Many of the treaties signed between Indigenous communities and the American government were unfair because they ignored the indigenous people and only focused on dividing land between European countries, took away land and gave it to other Indigenous communities, or took away land and gave it to American colonizers. Additionally, these treaties often did not allow Indigenous people to practice their own cultures. This resulted in the loss of land, resources, and autonomy for Indigenous communities.
