20 th Century Policies

“New Deal” Indian

Indian Reorganization Act Time Period: early 1940s In 1934, the Indian Reorganization Act (Wheeler-Howard Act) was passed as part of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal programs Roosevelt appoint Indian advocate, John Collier, as the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to execute the Indian Reorganization Act

Purpose of the IRA The Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) ended & reversed the Dawes Act by: 1.Returning communal land to tribes; 2.Encouraging the self-government of tribes (create tribal councils & constitutions); and, 3.Restored the management of tribal lands to the tribe The IRA, like other New Deal programs, lost momentum due to the onset of World War II.

The Navajo Code Talkers

Navajo Code Talkers The Navajo Code Talkers were a group of Navajo Marines who transmitted military messages in the Navajo language, during World War II

Navajo Code Talkers The Code Talkers used words in the Navajo language that could not be broken by the Japanese, during the war in the Pacific.

Some examples: "besh- lo" (iron fish) meant "submarine“ "dah-he- tih-hi" (hummingbird) meant "fighter plane" "debeh-li-zine" (black street) meant "squad"

Bush presents one of the Congressional Gold Medals to a former Navajo code talker

Relocation

Purpose of Relocation Time Period: The Bureau of Indian Affairs encouraged Indians to migrate to urban areas By 1960, a total of 33,466 Indians had been relocated. Government relocation provided: Job placement Job training (vocational skills) Counseling Transportation Subsistence funds until the first paycheck

Effects of Relocation More Native Americans live in urban areas today than on reservations Pow wows were created as a way for diverse tribes to come together to celebrate their Indian heritage Some brought skills learned back to reservations/tribal communities (Ex. Lumbees in Baltimore & Detroit)

NEW: Watch PBS Relocation videos (2) & view interactive map

Termination

Purpose of Termination Time Period: The policy hoped to terminate the responsibility that the federal government had with Native American tribes. The hope was to pass laws to end the existence of Indian tribes. The government argued that Native Americans should be treated exactly as all other citizens Congress wanted to work toward the withdrawal of all federal support and responsibility for Native American affairs.

Effects of Termination Services (healthcare & education) were withdrawn from about 11,500 Native Americans 1.5 million acres of land were taken from tribes Tribes/members became dependent on welfare “Red Power,” led by AIM (American Indian Movement) arose to protest this policy 1.Occupation of Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay from Trail of Broken Treaties occupation of the BIA in Washington, DC in day Siege at Wounded Knee in 1973

Self-Determination

Time Period: Present President Nixon ended the termination policy and ushered in the current policy called Self- Determination

Purpose of Self- Determination This policy recognizes the sovereignty of tribes Self-determination emphasizes self- government & tribal administration of its affairs including healthcare, education, housing, law enforcement, and welfare

Effects of Self- Determination Tribes have gained back rights to land, water, and hunting/fishing sites Religious & sacred sites have been returned Tribes are finally recognized by the government as SOVEREIGN!
