After WWII, U.S. policies towards Native Americans underwent a drastic shift that aimed to dismantle Native lands, resources, and governance. The United States adopted a strategy of containment, pressuring Indian leaders to cede most of their peoples’ lands, confining Indians to enclaves, financing vocational schooling for Indian children, and encouraging Native peoples voluntarily to move west of the Mississippi. [US Indian Policy, 1783–1830 – Oxford Research Encyclopedias]. So basically, the US government realized that after this war and money they were to be receiving from allies for helping so much in the war that it was time to work on our home. So they saw that they basically had small little countries living throughout the US and they wanted to get rid of these Indian territories so they could limit them and try to get them to turn into the modern white man and woman. Like other veterans, many Indians took advantage of the GI Bill to attend colleges and universities. As a result, a new generation of Indian leaders, many of whom now hold degrees in law, medicine, engineering, and other fields, began to emerge. No longer were Indian nations reliant on non-Indians to provide many of the technical skills required in the twentieth century.While the GI Bill provided many Indian veterans with an opportunity for higher education, the bill’s housing provisions could not be applied on reservations. Banks would not loan money for houses to Indians on reservations. The problem was that the Bureau of Indian Affairs would not sign a waiver to the title to the land as Indian reservations were lands which are held in trust by the federal government. There was no way to secure a loan, even under the GI Bill, without this waiver.

They give you this education and the money for housing can only be used if you live off of the reservation which would make a lot of native americans to leave their homes so they can live.
