Scope and Contents
The Frank C. Carlucci statement before the Subcommittee on Indian Affairs addresses the question of property seizures by Indian militants, with a focus on the occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs building by the Trail of Broken Treaties group. Carlucci argues that there are no simple solutions to the problems of the American Indian, and that the Federal government has not always been clear about its Indian policy. He suggests that the enactment of President Nixon's proposals would help to ease tension and improve communication and understanding. Carlucci also discusses the possible triggers for Indian confrontations, the responsibility of those involved in initiating them, and what can be done to prevent future occupations.
