Abstract	In 1987, the United States Senate established the Special Committee to investigate American Indian affairs. Fraud, corruption, and mismanagement were found pervading the institutions serving American Indians. Corruption was also discovered in Indian tribal governments. The Committee faulted Congress for failing to adequately oversee and reform Indian affairs. After 2 years, the Committee reported that the pattern of abuse is endemic because Congress has never fully rejected the paternalism of the 19th century. The U.S. government maintains a stifling bureaucratic presence in Indian country, and fails to deal with tribal governments as responsible partners. The Committee recommends the creation of a new federalism for American Indians which negotiates agreements with tribes, abolishes paternalism and, while providing the requisite federal funds, allows tribal governments to stand free, independent, responsible, and accountable. This report provides a brief history of congressional investigations and American Indian affairs from 1789 to 1989. The report lists findings on economic development and Indian preference contracting, child sexual abuse in federal schools, the federal government and American Indian natural resources, the Indian Health Service, Indian housing, and corruption among tribal governmental officials. Legislative recommendations are included. (ALL)
