(5) Indian property will be protected, Indian culture and identity will be respected, and Congress will commit and dedicate itself to support a policy of developing the necessary programs and services to bring Indians to a social and economic level of full participating citizens; (6) the Office of Management and Budget should submit an annual report to the Congress showing combined expenditures made by all departments and agencies of the Federal Government for the social and economic betterment of Indians; and (7) as used in this resolution the term "American Indian" or "Indian" shall include "Alaska Natives". | 2025-04-23T11:41:33Z |
