The correct answer is D. They were view as equals with the settlers and made treaties that benefited both groups.
Explanation
The Native Americans are a group of communities that inhabited the American territory before the arrival of European conquerors to their territory from the end of the 15th century. With the arrival of waves of Europeans, native American communities suffered various abuses, including slavery, displacement, murder, robbery, sold as slaves, among others. The Native Americans during most of the time of conquest and colonization were seen as slaves so they had no rights and were only used as workers. Likewise, they were stripped of their territories because many of the sources of natural resources were found. In the United States, there was an expansive phenomenon known as Westland Expansion, in which the Native Americans who inhabited the western part were displaced from their usual places of residence and enslaved or killed by the colonizers. Therefore, the correct respect is D. They were viewed as equals with the settlers and made treaties that benefited both groups.
