Attitudes towards Native American Sovereignty: sum of six Likert scale questions about support for Native American sovereignty
Attitudes towards US-Native American Treaties: sum of three Likert scale questions about support for the U.S. abiding by treaties with Native American tribes
Attitudes towards appropriation of Native American representation: sum of five Likert scale questions about the acceptability of non-Native people using Native imagery (for example, is it acceptable for a non-Native person to dress as a Native American for Halloween).
Likert scale quantified by: strongly disagree = -2, disagree = -1, neutral = 0, agree = 1, strongly agree = 2

Clicking on links: Respondents will receive information about specific ongoing efforts to change landmark names, and will be provided with links to sign petitions in support of those name changes. Respondents will also receive information about honor taxes, and will be provided links to learn more about how to pay them or set up honor taxes in their area. The outcome will be whether or not they click on the provided links.

Experimental Design (Public)
|
Before
Participants will take a 15-minute survey with an embedded randomization that will place participants into one of three groups. Each group will receive an information and priming treatment. Respondents will first enter demographic information, information about their education and childhood experiences, and answer a few questions that ask their beliefs about the origin of three place names in the United States. After the treatment, respondents will answer questions about their beliefs and views. Participants will: 1) guess the percentage of U.S. and their state populations that identifies in each racial group; and 2) guess the number of representatives in federal and their state government that identify in each racial group. Participants will then answer questions about their support for policies and activism concerning Native Americans, including the use of Native imagery and names in sports team mascots and other forms of representation, support for Native American sovereignty, and support for the U.S. abiding by treaties with Native American tribes.

Survey 2: Participants will take a 15-minute survey with an embedded randomization that will place participants into one of eleven treatment groups. Each group will receive an information and priming treatment. Respondents will first enter demographic information, information about their education and childhood experiences, and answer a few questions that ask their beliefs about the origin of three place names in the United States. After the treatment, participants will answer questions about their support for policies and activism concerning Native Americans, including the use of Native imagery and names in sports team mascots and other forms of representation, support for Native American sovereignty, and support for the U.S. abiding by treaties with Native American tribes.

Secondary Outcomes (Explanation)
|
Before
Respondents will guess the percentage identifying with racial categories of U.S. citizens, citizens within their own state, representatives in the U.S. Congress, and representatives in their state senate.
|
After
Survey 1: Respondents will guess the percentage identifying with racial categories of U.S. citizens, citizens within their own state, representatives in the U.S. Congress, and representatives in their state senate.
Survey 2: Subjective beliefs about status: I will use the MacArthur Scale of Subjective Social Status to understand participants beliefs about their societal rank relative to the people "that have the most money, the highest amount of schooling, and the best jobs" now, and where they believe they will be in 10 years. I will also modify the standard question to understand their beliefs about their cultural status, asking where they believe they rank relative to the people "who receive the most respect and appreciation, whose cultures are the most admired, and who have the most esteemed voices in society" now, and where they believe they will be in 10 years.
