Philosophy of an Indian War: Indian Community Action in the Johnson Administration's War on Indian Poverty, 1964-1968.

Cobb, Daniel M.

American Indian Culture and Research Journal, v22 n2 p71-102 1998

Explores the Johnson administration's most provocative innovation, the Community Action Program (CAP), and how its philosophy of "maximum feasible participation" furthered tribal self-determination. Examines the long-term impacts of CAPs and other Office of Economic Opportunity initiatives related to Head Start, Rough Rock Demonstration School, Navajo Community College, Indian pre-law programs, and community health and legal services.
