(I am doing National History Day on this topic) The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 (also called the W'heeler-Howard Act) was solely to give rights and other things they deserved to the American Indians. The act also was an attempt to undo the damage done by the Dawes Act. It gave them a credit system , a chance at good education, it prohibited further sale of allotments, etc.
