The panelists will examine the strengths and weaknesses of the act, the legal definition of "Indian," and whether the act is a step towards ending federal trusteeship. The discussion is part of a series of public forums on Bicentennial issues sponsored by the University of Tulsa.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
