The correct answer is A) Pueblos would voluntarily give up many acres of irrigated land without compensation.

For the final Bursum Bill, Collier and the Pueblo leaders did not agree to the demand stating that the "Pueblos would voluntarily give up many acres of irrigated land without compensation."

Since the very beginning of the colonial times in America, there were always problems between white settlers and Native American Indian TRibes regarding the position of the land. Time went by and after many years, the land still was an issue.

In New Mexico, in 1921, Senator Holm O. Bursum drafted a bill aimed to end disputes between Native American Indians -The Pueblo people- and white settlers. The legislation was called the Bursum Bill and allowed the state court to resolve land disputes. But the Pueblo representative fought back and the bill was not passed.
