a success for pro-Native American reform movements
Solution
Answer
The answer is a success for pro-Native American reform movements.
Explanation
Option 1: A legal setback that limited Native American rights
In 1975, there was no significant legal setback that specifically limited Native American rights. Instead, the year was marked by a positive development for Native American communities.
Option 2: The founding of the Bureau of Indian Affairs
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) was not founded in 1975. It was established much earlier, in 1824, as part of the U.S. Department of War, and later became part of the Department of the Interior.
Option 3: A success for pro-Native American reform movements
In 1975, the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act was passed. This was a significant success for pro-Native American reform movements as it allowed tribes more control over their own affairs, including the management of federal funds and programs. This act marked a shift towards greater self-governance and autonomy for Native American tribes.
