The text discusses the need for a new approach to federal policy towards native peoples, focusing on self-determination and economic prosperity. It emphasizes the importance of systematic policy planning and the alignment of federal and native goals. The new federal goal of promoting group rights and economic development is seen as a significant shift from previous assimilation policies. Native goals of self-determination have remained consistent throughout history, with sovereignty, cultural revitalization, and economic development being key priorities.
