![["The document discusses the historic strides taken in Federal Indian policy in the last five years, including increased funding for education, training, and self-determination. The focus is on returning land taken from Native American tribes, restoring trust status, achieving Alaska native claims settlement, and increasing Indian involvement in decision-making and budget planning. The Administration has proposed several bills to further enhance the economic capabilities of Native Americans, including measures for financing, self-determination, and education. Progress has been slow, but there is hope for positive change in the future."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_1_36_16_0000-Interior%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%20January-March,%201974/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_1_36_16_0017_thumbnail.jpg "Advancing Self-Determination: The Future of Federal Indian Policy")
