USCIS Officers will be supplied with a list of federally recognized American Indian tribes.
Officers ask history questions like this one to check general knowledge of how the country was formed. On the 2008 Civics Test, "Cherokee" is the answer to give if asked directly — related historical trivia beyond that isn't required to pass.
This is question 87 of the 2008 Civics Test. See it on uscis.gov. This question is worded the same way on the 2025 Civics Test.
