Indian Termination was a gov't policy from 1946-70 when the US wanted to end Native self-governance
A law passed by Congress on Aug 1st 1953, sought to end every tribe in California, Florida, New York, and Texas, and tribes like the Menominee Tribe (Wisconson) or Flathead Reservation (Montana) "at the earliest possible time”. Many Natives were also relocated off their lands. Over 3 million acres were stolen in this period
