False. Native American cultures varied in their parenting styles and disciplinary practices. The statement oversimplifies the diverse range of parenting practices across different Native American tribes and nations.

  • False. Native American cultures varied in their parenting styles and disciplinary practices.
  • While it is true that some Native American societies had a more permissive approach to parenting, it is not accurate to say that all Native Americans are the most likely to be permissive with their children and avoid physical punishment.
  • The statement oversimplifies the diverse range of parenting practices across different Native American tribes and nations.
  • For example, the Iroquois Confederacy, which consisted of six tribes, did not maintain neutrality during the Revolutionary War.
  • Some tribes within the confederacy supported the British, while others supported the American colonists.
