About UIHP Section


History: Prior to the 1950s, most American Indian/Alaska Natives (A.I./A.N.) resided on reservations, in nearby rural towns, or in tribal jurisdictional areas such as Oklahoma. In the era of the 1950s and 1960s, the federal government passed legislation to terminate its legal obligations to Indian tribes, resulting in policies/programs to assimilate Indian people into the mainstream of American society.   More >>
