How did the Revolutionary War change women’s status in most Native American tribes?
a) As men assumed a greater role as diplomats and mediators for their nations, women may have lost some influence within their communities.
b) Pressure from white missionaries led the U.S. government to allow Native Americans to continue their cultural practices, ensuring that women’s influence remained in place.
c) New farming practices introduced by the U.S. government helped increase agricultural yields and increased the importance of women in the tribes.
