Forced Relocation and Assimilation: Dillon Myer and the Native American.
Joe, Jennie R.
Amerasia Journal, v13 n2 p161-65 1986-87
The relationship between Native Americans and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is ambivalent. Most BIA commissioners, like Dillon Myer, have been assimilationists who have tried to get the government "out of Indian business." Recent policies stressing self-determination are in jeopardy as pressure mounts for decreased federal domestic spending. (VM)
