Native Americans and the New Deal
The Office Files of John Collier,
Scope and Content Note
The granting of citizenship in 1924 to all American Indians was looked upon as the final step in the effort to "Americanize" the Indian. Yet those on reservations were still considered wards of the federal government. This wardship was reinforced by a series of beliefs and laws that sought to transform American Indians into "Indian Americans." Mandated assimilation and acculturation proved disastrous to most Indian tribes. Indians lost their "allotted" lands due to death or bankruptcy, educational programs were too narrow and fixated on "white" ideals, and Indian heritage and tribal culture were cast aside without the substitution of anything in their place. The stage was set for heightened poverty, disease, and illiteracy.
With the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the liberal and Indian reformer John Collier was nominated and confirmed as Commissioner of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Collier's background in the study and criticism of existing federal Indian policy and administration provided him with a unique perspective; as stated by FDR's Interior Secretary, Harold Ickes, "Collier was the best equipped man who ever occupied the office."
Indian Commissioner Collier's approach to the Indian question reflected the desire to restore Indian culture and heritage, address communal land base and land purchase issues, and regenerate tribal self-government. These desires were formulated into the Indian New Deal. Collier used the various New Deal agencies and programs, including the Public Works Administration, Resettlement Administration, and Civil Works Administration. These provided funding for the establishment of an Indian Civilian Conservation Corps, building of new schools and hospitals, food aid, training, and construction of other parts of the infrastructure. Collier also fostered interagency and intra-agency cooperation among the Agriculture Department, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Interior Department. |
