Final answer:
The statement about Lauje eating habits cannot be confirmed with the given references, but the material discusses indigenous environmental practices broadly. Statements about Indian alliances, early U.S. Indian policy, Southeastern U.S. plant domestication, Sir Walter Raleigh, and recruiting native allies in the Aztec conquest are true. The Iroquois Confederacy's neutrality during the Revolutionary War is false.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement "In 'Supping with Savages' I argued that Lauje eat in order to demonstrate their mastery over nature" is not directly supported by the provided references and therefore cannot be determined to be true or false without additional context. However, the reference material provided does address broader issues related to indigenous practices and environmental interactions.
Regarding the other true/false statements provided:
- Indian alliances were indeed an important means of establishing power for European empires in the southeast, which makes this statement true.
- Acquisition of land was a critical motivating factor in early U.S. Indian policy, so this statement is also true.
- The Southeastern United States region being one of the world's independent centers for plant domestication is supported by archaeological findings, making this statement true as well.
- Sir Walter Raleigh was indeed behind the attempt to colonize Roanoke, which is true.
- Recruiting native allies was crucial in the Spanish conquest of the Aztec, making this statement true.
Regarding the neutrality of the Iroquois during the Revolutionary War, while some tribes did maintain neutrality, not all did, with some choosing sides. Therefore, the statement that all tribes maintained neutrality is false.
