- Description:
- 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.
