Best Answer

The Indian Reorganization Act was publicly touted as a move to give Indian Nations and their governments more power of self determination and a move away from assimilation. In reality what the act did was force any Indian Nation to submit to a subordinate government system owing its allegiance to the United States (IE: it changed them from independent governments to dependent governments, state level governments under the United States) and removed the cultural norms of socialist style property ownership to capitalist style property ownership as practiced by white cultures. It also instituted a policy that the US BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) must approve any action taken by Tribal Governments; from approval of laws, rules, regulations to the expenditures of any money or disposition of any funds.
