- Description:
- A recent act of Congress has handed over the administration of some federal Indian programs to tribes, representing a "threshhold" in United States policy. The act allows for the transfer of programs to tribes, but funding and implementation remain uncertain. Urban Indians are not recognized under the act, and there may be challenges in coordinating programs among the 60 recognized tribes. The act is seen as a step towards Indian self-determination, but its effectiveness and impact remain to be seen.
