Solution

The correct answer is C. "We've worked to ensure your right to equal justice under the law, and given more power to tribal courts and police." (paragraph 4). This statement implies that previously, the tribal groups may not have had equal justice under the law or sufficient power in their courts and police forces, suggesting they have not been treated fairly by legal systems.
