Roots of the Native Americn Urban Experience: Relocation Policy in the 1950s.

Burt, Larry W.

American Indian Quarterly, v10 n2 p85-99 Spr 1986

When used in the 1950s primarily as an alternative to reservation economic development, relocation failed to achieve its intended goals. It failed to reduce federal commitment to Indian welfare, promote cultural assimilation, or improve the economic status of Indians. Indians with existing job skills and off-reservation experience--the most assimilated--benefited most. (JHZ)
