Indian: Social Studies Dictionary - Indian policies

Definition and meaning of Indian policies

Indian policies - [Social Studies]

Since the arrival of Columbus in North America, Native Americans have faced European diseases, expansion, and competitiveness. Conflict over the rights of settlers to locate on land occupied by Native Americans prompted wars with tribes throughout the east and west. The traditions of Native Americans disappeared as they were removed from their homelands, isolated on reservations, and forced to abandon their rituals. The Bureau of Indian Affairs, established to care for the Indians, was challenged to make their lives on reservations bearable. In efforts to assimilate Native Americans, Congress passed the Dawes Act in 1887. It dissolved many tribes as legal entities, did away with tribal ownership of land, and gave heads of individual families 160 acres. If they cooperated, they secured title and citizenship in 25 years, a period of time later extended. Many Native Americans refused to comply with the act and stayed on their reservation land. All Native Americans were not granted citizenship until 1924. The idea of destroying tribal culture to further assimilation remained an aspect of federal policy until the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 which attempted to restore the tribal basis of life as a way to realize social and economic reform. After World War II, the federal government again reduced aid to Indian reservations and confiscated more land. In the 1960s, following the example set by African Americans in their quest for civil rights, Native Americans formed the American Indian Movement to.

Indian: Hindu - Hinduism Dictionary on Neo-Indian religion

neo-Indian religion: Navabharata Dharma.

A modern form of liberal Hinduism that carries forward basic Hindu cultural values - such as dress, diet and the arts - while allowing religious values to subside. It emerged after the British Raj, when India declared itself an independent, secular state. It was cultivated by the Macaulay education system, implanted in India by the British, which aggressively undermined Hindu thought and belief. Neo- Indian religion encourages Hindus to follow any combination of theological, scriptural, sadhana and worship patterns, regardless of sectarian or religious origin. Extending out of and beyond the Smarta system of worshiping the Gods of each major sect, it incorporates holy icons from all religions, including Jesus, Mother Mary and Buddha. Many Navabharatis choose to not call themselves Hindus but to declare themselves members of all the world's religions.
