Self-Determination 1961-Present by https://padlet.com/arianabahavar/oeihppd48rltons7 en-us 2022-03-03 17:33:41 UTC 2022-03-07 04:49:34 UTC hello@padlet.com Claims arianabahavar https://padlet.com/arianabahavar/oeihppd48rltons7/wish/2076325932 We can look at laws centered around Native Americans to gain insight into the future of Native societies.

There was a period of time when the U.S. government tried to move away from its policy of termination regarding Natives by enacting laws that were supposed to help Natives out.

The U.S. government supposedly tired to help Natives transition from an isolated society through enacting laws targeting Native issues, but it is inconclusive whether these legislative actions actually helped Natives adapt to general American society.

  • Self-determination: allowing for Native decision-making autonomy in recuperating from Native societal losses during termination policy era; supported by some degree of federal assistance
  • Termination: juxtaposed here as the damaging antecedent to self-determination in tribal nations; the massive withdrawal or 'termination' of federal assistance set the stage and provided impetus for mostly autonomous yet somewhat supported growth in Native tribes
  • Educational benefits: special educational training programs for teachers, fellowships for certain students, basic educational research in/for Native populations
  • Civil rights: social welfare programming such as Housing Act and prevention of states from claiming jurisdiction over Indian Country without tribal consent
