Abstract

A new and dynamic administration took charge of the Bureau of In dian Affairs in 1933. In 1934 the Indian Reorganization Act was passed. The Act survived all attacks and remained the foundation of the policy of the Bureau at least until 1950. The sale of Indian land was halted, a loan fund created, a movement away from reservation schools to public schools started, and so forth. After 1950, policies have been followed which aim at a special social integration of the Indian and the termination of federal control or supervision as quickly as possible; but there are signs that Congress is giving a second look at these poli cies, which in many instances have proved detrimental rather than helpful.—Ed.
