The Battle over Termination on the Colville Indian Reservation.

Dahl, Kathleen A.

American Indian Culture and Research Journal, v18 n1 p29-53 1994

The 1953 Termination Resolution set up a process for abolishing the trust status of Indian tribes and appropriating reservation resources for use by non-Indians. Colville Confederated Tribes in north-central Washington struggled with the question of termination and ultimately rejected it amid power struggles between antitermination "traditional" Indians and protermination "modern" Indians.
