Write a 525- to 700-word post answering the following:
Select an official Native American group (one on the official federal list). Specifically, answer these questions:
Where are they located in the U.S. today?
Were they forcibly removed from their ancestral lands? How?
Do they have a reservation today?
What is their legal standing with the U.S. government?
How many enrolled members are there in the tribe?
How is tribal membership defined?
What form of government do they practice? Can both men and women be on the governing body?
Do they have an official language other than English or Spanish? Is the language taught in Indian schools?
Make sure to use the readings in your answer-it is a requirement.
