When reservations were established, Indigenous tribes were granted the right to

govern themselves.
earn money from produce sales.
have a representative on the territory’s council.
earn money by working for settlers.

Answer 1

When reservations were established, Indigenous tribes were primarily granted the right to **govern themselves**. This self-governance was meant to allow tribes to manage their own affairs, including aspects of law, culture, and resources, although in practice, the extent of this governance has often been limited by federal and state policies. The other options mentioned, such as earning money from produce sales or working for settlers, are not rights granted by the establishment of reservations.
