a. the treaty of paris was designed by britain to require the former colonies to work diplomatically with indigenous groups and share the land equitably.
b. the treaty of paris failed to include any provisions for indigenous groups, and their lands were given to the united states.
c. britain decided in the treaty of paris for indigenous groups to receive 50 percent of their original land.
d. in the treaty of paris, britain stipulated that the united states give back the original lands held by indigenous groups when the colonists first arrived in the new world.

Explanation:

The Treaty of Paris (1783) ended the Revolutionary War. It focused on the relationship between Britain and the newly - independent United States. Indigenous groups were not part of the treaty negotiations. The treaty essentially ceded vast lands (that Indigenous groups occupied) from Britain to the United States. There were no protections or provisions for Indigenous land rights in the Treaty of Paris. This set the stage for further westward expansion by the United States at the expense of Indigenous peoples.

Answer:

B. The Treaty of Paris failed to include any provisions for Indigenous groups, and their lands were given to the United States.
