The Indian Appropriations Act of 1871 changed how the US government treated American Indians. Under this policy,
American Indians were treated as part of a tribe.
American Indians were treated as individuals.
American Indian groups became separate nations.
American Indians became independent of the US.

Under this policy the "American Indians were treated as individuals".

Option: B

Explanation:

The Indian Appropriations Act was a logical extension of the peace program of the President Grant. The act called for the US government to avoid recognizing Plains Indians as an autonomous nation or tribe. The act then said Plains Indians should be regarded as individuals. Additionally, Congress believed that all Indians should be regarded as persons, and that the federal government should be legally named "wards".

This Act of 1851 provided money for placing Western tribes on settlements. The United States Government secured and enclosed reservations. Reservations were to be built to preserve the Native Americans from the increasing interference of whites coming to the West, as per the Federal government at the time. This act set the precedent for Native American reservation of the present day.

B. American Indians were treated as individuals.
