The Mobilization of Minorities Seeds of Indian Militancy -Native Americans had the most grievances against the prevailing culture: Were the poorest and least stable group in the nation ? income about $1000 per family. Were the most ignored group in America. -society continued to try to assimilate N.A. whether they wanted to or not: New policy of ?termination? in 1953 ? Indians faced the same local jurisdictions as white residents. Government also tried to push Indians into cities, where they hoped that they would lose their cultural distinctiveness. -termination led to corruption and abuse -> Eisenhower barred further ?termination? without the consent of the tribes. Indians became more militant and revived the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI).
