American Indians. We shall continue to use the powers of the Federal Government to advance the health, education and economic well-being of our American In-" dian citizens, without impairing their cultural traditions. We pledge our support to the cause of fair and equitable treatment in all matters essential to and desirable for their individual and tribal welfare.
The American Indian should be completely integrated into the social, economic and political life of the Nation. To that end we shall move to secure the prompt final settlement of Indian claims and to remove restrictions on the rights of Indians individually and through their tribal councils to handle their own fiscal affairs.
We favor the repeal of all acts or regulations that deny to Indians rights or privileges held by citizens generally.
