Tribal Self Determination Revisited:

President Nixon’s Lasting Impact on American Indian Life

Wednesday, October 16

First Americans Museum, Oklahoma City

line break

The Chickasaw Nation and The Richard Nixon Foundation will partner to co-host a policy conference in Oklahoma City to reflect on the Nixon administration's transformative federal policy of American Indian self-determination, and foster a deeper understanding of how this policy continues to impact American Indian life and tribal sovereignty issues today.

By adopting a policy of Indian self-determination, the Nixon administration reversed a decades-long series of discriminatory policies that forced assimilation. This was a seismic shift in the relationship between Indian tribes and the U.S. federal government. Legislation such as the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 aimed to restore tribal sovereignty and support the economic, social, and cultural growth of American Indian communities.
