Which sentence BEST states the main idea of the first paragraph?
About 200 years ago the Cherokee Indians were one tribe, or "Indian Nation" that lived in the southeast part of what is now the United States. During the 1830's and 1840's, the period covered by the Indian Removal Act, (1) many Cherokees were moved west to a territory that is now the State of Oklahoma. A number remained in the southeast and gathered in North Carolina where they purchased land and continued to live. (2) Others went into the Appalachian Mountains to escape being moved west and many of their descendants may still live there now.
(1) Living persons who were listed on the final rolls of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma (Dawes Commission Rolls) that were approved and descendants of these persons. These final rolls were established in 1907
(2) Individuals enrolled as members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians of North Carolina and descendants who are eligible for enrollment with the Band.
(3) Persons on the list of members identified by a resolution dated April 19, 1949, and certified by Superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes Agency and their descendants who are eligible for enrollment with the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indian of Oklahoma.
(4) All other persons of Cherokee Indian ancestry.
After about a half century of self-government, a law enacted in 1906 directed that final rolls be made and that each enrollee be given an allotment of land or paid cash in lieu of an allotment. The Cherokees formally organized in 1975 with the adoption of a new Constitution that superseded the 1839 Cherokee Nation Constitution. This new Constitution establishes a Cherokee Register for the inclusion of any Cherokee for membership purposes in the Cherokee Nation. Members must be citizens as proven by reference to the Dawes Commission Rolls. Included in this are the Delaware Cherokees of Article II of the Delaware Agreement dated May 8, 1867, and the Shawnee Cherokees of Article III of the Shawnee Agreement dated June 9, 1869, and/or their descendants.
authorizes through a planning and negotiation process Indian Tribes to administer and manage programs, activities, function, and services previously managed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Pursuant to P.L. 100-472 the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma has entered into a Self-governance Compact and now provides those services previously provided by the BIA. Enrollment and allotment records are maintained by the Cherokee Nation. Any question with regard to the Cherokee Nation should be referred to:
The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians of North Carolina is a federally recognized tribe and has its own requirements for membership. (3) Inquiries as to these requirements, or for information shown in the records may be addressed to the BIA's
By the Act of August 10, 1946, 60 Stat. 976, Congress recognized the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma (UKB) for the purposes of organizing under the Oklahoma Indian Welfare Act. In 1950, the UKB organized under a Constitution and Bylaws approved by the Secretary of the Interior. Members of the UKB consist of all persons whose names appear on the list of members identified by a resolution dated April 19, 1949, and certified by the Superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes Agency on November 26, 1949, with the governing body of the UKB having the power to prescribe rules and regulations governing future membership. The supreme governing body (UKB Council) consists of 9 members, elected to represent the nine districts of the old Cherokee Nation and four officers, elected at large. Information may be obtained by writing:
Information about Indian ancestry of individuals in this category of Cherokees is more difficult to locate. (3) This is primarily because the federal government has never maintained a list of all the persons of Cherokee Indian descent indicating their tribal affiliation degree of Indian blood or other data. (4) In order to establish Cherokee ancestry you should use the same methods prescribed in "Indian Ancestry’ and "Genealogical Research" material.
The main idea of the first paragraph is the history of the Cherokee people during the period of the Indian Removal Act, which led to the relocation of many Cherokees to Oklahoma, while others remained in the southeast and some went into the Appalachian Mountains to escape relocation.
John took off his helmet, turnout gear, and boots in the truck room and hung the jacket on his assigned peg. Just above the peg was a handmade label that read, ‘FF#121 Wilson.’ John still felt a sudden surge of pride every time he looked at the label. His father would be proud too, he reminded himself. After 32 years and a couple million fires, his father still had the passion for it in his blood until the end.
2It was still an hour before dinner, so John washed up and settled down in the old worn chair beside the phone to do what he always did after returning from a fire call. He dialed each digit and then waited.
3"Hullo" a tiny voice finally answered. John was happy to hear the sound of the voice he had heard only in his head for the past two hours. "Daddy, have you been on a fire?" the inquisitive child asked.
4"As a matter of fact, I have son." John returned.
5"Wow Dad, I can’t wait until I get big, so I can fight fires too."
6"I know, Son." What sort of job does John have?

The Indian Removal Act incited conflict among the Cherokee primarily for reasons mentioned in options A and C.
Option A is correct because the Indian Removal Act resulted in mixed feelings among the Cherokee people. While many Cherokee wanted to resist adopting white customs and culture, some saw it as necessary in order to maintain a peaceful relationship with the Americans. This conflict of perspectives created tension within the Cherokee community.
Option C is also correct because the Indian Removal Act forced the Cherokee to leave their ancestral lands and relocate to the Indian Territory, which is present-day Oklahoma. While some Cherokee wanted to take their case against removal to the Supreme Court and fight for their rights, the majority of the tribe decided to accept the act and move to Oklahoma voluntarily. This division of opinions regarding how to deal with the removal process further contributed to internal conflicts within the Cherokee Nation.
Option D, although not directly related to the Indian Removal Act itself, is also a factor that caused tension among the Cherokee. Many Cherokee had converted to Protestant Christianity in hopes of avoiding removal and gaining support from Christian missionaries. However, this religious conversion created divisions and disagreements within the tribe, as not all members agreed with adopting the new faith.
In summary, while options A and C directly address the conflicts caused by the Indian Removal Act within the Cherokee community, option D introduces another tension point related to religious conversion. So, the answer is a combination of A, C, and D.
