DISCUSSION: The author’s main point is that the Pan-Indian scholars are wrong. Intertribalism is helping to keep tribal culture alive. Both intertribalism and tribalism help protect Native American culture.
___________
- Nonsense. Intertribalism sounds like a recent development, and a reaction to the threat of assimilation. I doubt the Natives practiced formal intertribalism before the American conquest.
- The author doesn’t think that tribalism and intertribalism are competing forces. Both help protect Native American culture.
See the final paragraph. - CORRECT. The last two paragraphs argue against the Pan-Indian scholars. The final paragraph sums up the argument. We see that both tribalism and intertribalism help Native American culture.
- This ignores the Pan-Indian scholars, and tribalism. Also, the passage barely talked about how Native Americans interact with the broader culture.
- The author thinks local traditions are getting stronger (lines 20-22).
