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.
