I think para 1 sets the stage for the entire idea behind the passage. Once you understand it, rest of the passage becomes a simpler read

Para 1 1: One event envisaged equal civil rights for the tribals (and hence moving away from reservations) while another event wanted them to form their own institution and stay as tribals. These conflicting ideas were used by BIA to convince a tribe to join readjustment that was supported by the first event
Para 2: How BIA tried to convince the tribe to join readjustment policy (proposed benefits of readjustment)

(A) the establishment among Native Americans of tribal system of elected government

(C) the establishment of programs to encourage Native Americans to move from reservations to urban areasBecause the increased awareness of civil rights in these decades helped reinforce the belief that life on reservations prevented Native Americans from exercising the rights guaranteed to citizens under the United States Constitution Basically saying that reservations were bad in way and hence tribals should come under the larger umbrella of US citizens
