Largely forgotten today, the National Council on Indian
Opportunity (1968-1974) was the federal government's establishment
of self-determination as a way to move Indians into the mainstream
of American life. By endorsing the principle that Indians possessed
the right to make choices about their own lives, envision their own
futures, and speak and advocate for themselves, federal policy
makers sought to ensure that Native Americans possessed the same
economic, political, and cultural opportunities afforded other
Americans. In this book, the first study of the NCIO, historian
Thomas A. Britten traces the workings of the council along with its
enduring impact on the lives of indigenous people.
