This lesson asks students to engage in chronological reasoning about how the U.S. government’s policies toward Native American tribal lands changed over a 100-year timespan. Effective as a summative lesson or an assessment, this lesson requires students to apply broad knowledge of the U.S. policies toward Native American tribes to draw inferences about the order that the documents were created.
