Sought to get land back from the US government?

• A. Native Americans/American Indian Movement
• B. La Raza Unida
• C. G.I. Forum
• D. Cesar Chavez/ Delores Huerta

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is recognizing which group pursued reclaiming land from the government, reflecting efforts to restore sovereignty and ancestral territory. Native Americans, particularly through the American Indian Movement, fought for treaty rights and the return or protection of lands taken or controlled by the U.S. government. Their activism included actions like the Alcatraz occupation and other protests aimed at restoring land and sovereignty. By contrast, La Raza Unida focused on political empowerment for Mexican Americans, the G.I. Forum centered on veterans’ civil rights, and Cesar Chavez and Delores Huerta led farm workers’ labor rights movements. While important for the communities they served, none emphasized reclaiming land from the federal government as a primary objective in the way the Native American movement did.
