Since factories were developed by and for Western culture, those on American Indian reservations need to be adjusted to a nonwestern social and cultural milieu. Among Indian cultural traits which differ from Western culture are independence, nature of authority, attitude toward property and nature, competition, rewards system, and sense of time. These differences have been found to be common among North American Indians generally, except possibly in the Northwest Coast cultural region. These cultural conflicts suggest that certain types of changes which could be made in the Western factory system need to be considered. Such changes would be: (1) determining the kind of factories which would allow the most satisfying types of work, (2) ownership of reservation factories, and (3) the relationship of the worker to the plant. The electronics plant on the Yankton Sioux Reservation in South Dakota is a successful factory which has incorporated some of these. (NQ)
