Empowering Indigenous Communities: The Need for Accessible Loans for Economic Development, 1950-01-01 - 1950-12-31

Item — Box: SP 1, Folder: 45

Identifier: CAC_CC_001_16_1_45_0003

Scope and Contents

The text discusses the need for legislation to provide loans to Native American tribes for business, agricultural, and educational purposes. The current funds available are inadequate, restrictions on loans are too severe, and the administration of the act is too technical. The author believes that loans should be based on the character of the borrower rather than collateral, and that the approach should be sympathetic to the problems of the Indian tribes.
