Description
This unit has provided insight into major treaties, acts, and legislation implemented by the US Government that either directly or indirectly affect Native American peoples. Lesson 8 will continue further into the 20th century and look into the rationale behind the development of the Native American Reservation System. Starting with the Indian Reorganization Act in 1934, this lesson will analyze the development and rise of the reservation system into the 21st century. Students will be given information regarding the reservation system in the present day United States and then, based off the information, draw their own broader conclusions about its effectiveness. The reservation system in the 21st century will be examined as well as the role it plays in preserving or undermining Native American cultures and identities.
