The text discusses the need for legislation to provide loans for business, agricultural, and educational purposes to Native American tribes who lack economic resources and technical skills to improve their living standards. The current funds available are inadequate and restrictions on loans are too severe. The administration of the act has been too technical and needs to be more sympathetic to the needs of the tribes.
