Abstract

John Collier became Indian Commissioner during the New Deal Administration of Franklin Roosevelt. For more than a decade Collier had been a severe critic of the Indian Bureau; his appointment marked a significant break with past governmental attitudes which had been implemented under the General Allotment Act of 1887, and had resulted in immense land transfers to non-Indian ownership.
