Termination Policy (1953-1968)
The Indian Termination Policy was intended to assimilate the Native Americans as individuals (as opposed to one ethnic group) into mainstream Western civilization. At least, that was the belief. It was established by Congress as a means of ending all relations between Native American Tribes and the federal government. The Termination Policy was intended to grant all the privileges and rights of citizenship to the Native Americans; however, it actually ended tribe sovereignty and freedom, trusteeship of the reservations and exclusion of Indians from state laws.
Self Determination Act (1975)
The Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 (Public Law 93-638) authorized the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, and some other government agencies to enter into contracts with, and make grants directly to, federally recognized Indian tribes. The tribes would have authority for how they administered the funds, which gave them greater control over their welfare. The ISDEAA is codified at Title 25, United States Code, beginning at section 450.
Signed into law on January 4, 1975, the ISDEAA made self-determination the focus of government action. The Act reversed a 30-year effort by the federal government under its preceding termination policy to sever treaty relationships with and obligations to Indian tribes. The Act was the result of 15 years of change, influenced by American Indian activism, the Civil Rights Movement, and community development based on grassroots political participation.[1][2]
Indian Child Welfare Act (1975)
The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) is a federal law that seeks to keep American Indian children with American Indian families. Congress passed ICWA in 1978 in response to the alarmingly high number of Indian children being removed from their homes by both public and private agencies. The intent of Congress under ICWA was to "protect the best interests of Indian children and to promote the stability and security of Indian tribes and families" (25 U.S.C. § 1902). ICWA sets federal requirements that apply to state child custody proceedings involving an Indian child who is a member of or eligible for membership in a federally recognized tribe.
