SW 355 - Dev of US Indian Policy

This course traces the development of United State policy toward the American Indians. Beginning with the policies inherited from European colonizers, the federal government developed expedient policies to balance the desires of its own citizens with the Indian peoples’ legal rights and hopes for continued tribal survival. The course documents the opposing concepts of assimilation and segregation that have led to the present philosophy of pluralism and self-determination in United States Indian policy.
