  2. Citizens, but without the right to vote
  3. Residents on government property without citizenship rights
  4. A hostile people perpetually at war with the United States

Explanation
Answer: C - The Treaty of Greenville required Native Americans to cede their land to government, solidifying their status as residents on government property without citizenship rights. They could continue to live on it if they accepted governmental administration, in which case they would receive an annuity. It was one of many acts that codified Native Americans’ lack of citizenship, as they were increasingly defined as a separate nation under the control of the United States in a kind of domestic colonization. Native Americans not get citizenship and political rights until 1924.
