Attack on the Tribal Middle Class

 Policies and programs are being created to encourage or enforce assimilation in Indian assimilation into American middle class. Over the past 50 years other policies have failed and in my opinion had minor positive outcomes. The policies that affected incorporating Indians into American culture are self-determination and termination. Which both incorporate Indians into the American culture in there own ways. Both policies have worked slightly in my opinion, they have helped Indians improve their incomes, jobs, and the economy. With these policies income levels have raised by about thirty-three percent and the poverty rate has dropped by about seven percent. How do you feel these policies worked even though they did not last? Would you have supported them or not?
