Read the excerpt from the US Department of the Interior’s homesteading timeline. 1865 – March 3: An 1865 appropriations act for expenses of the Indian Department extended the first possibility for some Indians to receive homesteads under the 1862 Homestead Act, but under conditions of essentially giving up their cultural affiliation. It was also one of the earliest laws outlining the course by which Indians (though just for the Stockbridge Munsee Tribes of Indiana) could become U. S. citizens. . . .
1884 – July 4, 1884: Another section within an appropriations act further defined how Indians could homestead, with their homesteads to be held in trust by the federal government for 25 years.
1887 – February 8, 1887: Passage of the Dawes Act provided for the division of tribally held lands under treaty into individually-owned tracts, with "surplus” lands being opened up to homesteading and other forms of disposal. Over the 47 years that the law was in effect until 1934, about 90 million acres of land left Indian ownership.

Write about 50 words explaining whether or not this passage supports that explanation. in the introduction, you heard genghis khan’s explanation of why the mongols were successful conquerors in his time. the mongols were illiterate . . and perhaps no more than 700,000 in number. . they were herdsmen on the grassy plains north of the gobi desert, south of siberia’s forests. before the year 1200, the mongols were fragmented, moving about in small bands headed by a chief, or khan, and living in portable felt dwellings. the mongols endured frequent deprivations [hardships] and sparse areas for grazing their animals. they frequently fought over turf, and during hard times, they occasionally raided, interested in goods rather than bloodshed.
