American Indian Nations from
Termination to Restoration, 1953-2006
Roberta Ulrich
When the US. government ended iu relationship with dozens of Native
American tribes and bands between 1953 and 1966, it was engaging in a massive
social experiment. Congress enacted the program, known as termination, in the
name of "freeing" the Indians from government restrictions and improving their
quality of life. However, removing the federal status of more than nine dozen
tribes across the country plunged many of their nearly 13,000 members into
deeper levels of poverty and eroded the tribal people's sense of Native identity.
Beginning in 1973 and extending over a twenty-year period, the terminated tribes,
one by one, persuaded Congress to restore their ties to the federal government
Nonetheless, so much damage had been done that even today the restored tribes
struggle to overcome the problems created by those terminations a half century
ago.
Roberta Ulrich provides a concise overview of all the terminations and
restorations of Native American tribes from 19)3 to 2006 and explores the
enduring policy implications for Native peoples. This is the first book to
consider all the terminations and restorations in the twentieth century as part
of continuing policy while detailing some of the Individual tribal differences.
Drawing from Congressional records, interviews with tribal members, and other
primary sources, Ulrich delves into the causes and effects of termination and
restoration from both sides.
Roberta Ulrich is a retired newspaper reporter. She is the author of Empty Netx
Indians, Dams, and the Columbia River.
