Question

the following passage is about iron eye, chief of the omaha, a tribe of native americans. select the best evidence to support the statement that for iron eye, building a house was an attempt to get his tribe to move forward. \look ahead,\ iron eye had said when he returned, \and you will see nothing but the white man.\ he saw that the omaha way, his way, was forever changed. of what use now were hunting skills? of what use now were skills in tanning buffalo skins and drying buffalo meat? of what use now were dances and prayers to wakonda? so, on a low hill overlooking the rich, flat bottomland beside the missouri river, iron eye built a two - story wood frame house as a model for a new way of living. he plowed the heavy black soil with a yoke and oxen and divided the land into separate farms. he asked other omahas to build wooden houses on these farms. from jeri ferris, native american doctor: the story of susan laflesche picotte. copyright 1991 by jeri ferris

Explanation:

The key evidence must link building the house to guiding the tribe toward a new, forward-moving way of life, as Iron Eye recognized traditional Omaha practices were no longer viable with white settlers' presence. The sentence explicitly states the house was a model for a new living way and encouraged other tribe members to follow.

Answer:

"So, on a low hill overlooking the rich, flat bottomland beside the Missouri River, Iron Eye built a two-story wood frame house as a model for a new way of living. He plowed the heavy black soil with a yoke and oxen and divided the land into separate farms. He asked other Omahas to build wooden houses on these farms."
