Scope and Contents

The text discusses the Indian Administration's efforts to provide land assistance to Native Americans in order to improve their living conditions. The government has allocated funds for a land program to consolidate existing tracts and purchase new acreage. The program aims to help Redmen achieve a "subsistence basis" and receive aid from rehabilitation and relief sources. The text also criticizes past government policies that led to the dispossession of Indian capital assets and the creation of a race of idle landlords.
