The Cherokee, Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw people were collectively known as?
A
The Five Civilized Tribes
B
Five Warrior Tribes
C
Native American Nation
D
Native American People
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Chickasaw, Creek, Choctaw, Cherokee and Seminole peoples became known by non-Natives as The Five Civilized Tribes after making every effort to adapt to the ways requested by their treaties-establishing courts and a formalized code of laws, and constructing schools and churches.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 marks a turning point in determining tribal citizenship. This Act developed a Federal commission tasked with creating Final Rolls for the Five Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma (Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, and Seminoles).

Detailed explanation-3: -The word civilized was applied to the five tribes because, broadly speaking, they had developed extensive economic ties with whites or had assimilated into American settler culture. Some members of these southeastern tribes had adopted European clothing, spoke English, practiced Christianity, and even owned slaves.
