Hi,
I came across a sentence from a text and had trouble analyzing it. The source provides the sentence: "United States policy deprived Native Americans of their ancestral lands."
The source states that "their ancestral lands" is an indirect object, but I cannot see how that is the case. Can someone explain?
Thanks!
