What was the governments termination policy regarding native American?

The U.S. government's termination policy, initiated in the 1950s, aimed to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream American society by terminating the special legal status of tribes and abolishing federal recognition. This policy sought to encourage individual land ownership and reduce federal support for Native American programs, leading to the loss of tribal lands and cultural identity. The termination effort was met with significant resistance and ultimately deemed detrimental, resulting in a shift towards policies that favored tribal self-determination in the 1970s.
