Indian Reorganization Act
(redirected from Wheeler-Howard Act)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Indian Reorganization Act

US federal act passed in 18 June 1934, aimed at re-establishing government by American Indian peoples and preserving American Indian culture. A survey of reservation life under the Dawes General Allotment Act discovered appalling living conditions and recommended drastic reforms. The Indian Reorganization Act returned thousands of acres of land to reservations, provided federal financial and technical aid to ethnic groups, supplied health and education services, and encouraged the adoption of written constitutions. The Act forms the basis of current federal legislation on American Indians.
