Question

What were the Civilization Regulations of 1880 designed to do?

A. Outlaw practices regarded as civilized by European American settlers

B. Outlaw European American expressions of spirituality and cultural practices

C. Provide guidelines for civilized forms of protest

D. Outlaw Native American expressions of spirituality and cultural practices

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) Outlaw Native American expressions of spirituality and cultural practices

Step-by-step explanation:

The Civilization Regulations act of 1880 is historically seen as a racially motivated government policy to curb the independence and freedoms of the native American tribes.

The American government wanted to increase the participation of Natives and believed that forced assimilation might be useful. Some would argue it was 'forced Christianize' as the act made it illegal to practice native American religions and other practices.
