Abstract
Perhaps it can no longer be said, as it could in the fifties, that the Government's Indian policy is one of complete termination of federal supervision over tribal affairs. Today's policy leans more toward the concept of a "partnership" between the Indians and the federal government. Yet, the object of either policy is the same—raising all Indians' living standard to one commensurate with that of the general population. It is the purpose of this article to analyze the current state of Indian manpower, age 16 and over, by focusing on five Southwestern reservations. Primary emphasis is given to Indian economic welfare, education, and employment, the status of which should give an indication of the success of past governmental efforts vis-à-vis the Indians.
