Which of the following would American Indians on reservations have most preferred in the 1880s?
A.) having land that was closer to cities and railroads
B.) having fertile land that supported crops and large bison herds
C.) having access to gold mines and timber
D.) having a desert land to settle permanently
This of course depends greatly on the individual natives in question, but the best option from the list would be "having fertile land that supported crops and large bison herds," since this would have allowed them to best preserve their way of life.
