So, in writing my paper's findings chapter. I realize that I was completely confused about what actually is the self-determination period in Indian policy. Maybe Margaret Szasz is just wrong. I for some reason thought it didn't start until the mid 60's....but Szasz (which is really hard to type) puts it in 1934 with the Indian Reorganization Act ( Read more... )

True, but I think that was more for elementary and secondary education. During this time the BIA did start giving out scholarships, they got a big chunk of money to do it after the Merriam Report/IRA.

Yeah, I understood it the same way, but in the education policy stuff I've been reading, the IRA is the 'turning point' towards self determination, but the actual impact begins in the late 60's. I think I'm going to address termination and relocation as more overall Indian policies that happen after the IRA and before the late 60's, that don't necessarily relate to higher education. Besides, the most movement happens after 1969 and the Kennedy Report anyway. In a nutshell, I'll go along with the self-determination era as being after 1934, but with periods of regression/political violence during the 40's and 50's. I just have to go through and clarify I think.
