I want to test the ability of students to read a passage and answer questions about it. Could you please come up with a good question for the passage "Treaties formed an important part of European colonization and, in many parts of the world, Europeans attempted to legitimize their sovereignty by signing treaties with indigenous peoples. In most cases these treaties were in extremely disadvantageous terms to the native people, who often did not appreciate the implications of what they were signing."?
Who felt they needed to be validated?
