The answer is A

A. The Fort Laramie Treaty was an agreement between the United States government and various Native American nations in 1851. US government officials asked each Native nation to keep to a limited area in exchange for money, domestic animals, tools, and other goods. The treaty was an attempt to reduce conflicts between Native Americans and settlers as more and more settlers moved westward. The treaty was renegotiated in 1868 after several years of conflict and was seen as a significant step towards the peaceful coexistence between the US government and Native American nations.
