Revolutionizing Native Affairs: A New Vision for Self-Determination and Prosperity, 1970-07-08

The document discusses the shift in federal policy towards native peoples in the United States, focusing on self-determination and economic prosperity. It highlights the need for effective policy planning, with precepts such as prioritizing thought before action and determining goals independently before considering political and budgetary feasibility. The convergence of federal and native goals is emphasized, with a focus on political self-determination and economic development. The traditional native goals of self-determination are contrasted with the new federal goals, which aim to empower native groups and eliminate welfare programs through economic prosperity.
