“…Other work in this area has focused on more recent policy impacts. This literature has documented the impacts of policies such as the Dawes Act (e.g., Carlson 1978, 1981, 1983; Dippel and Frye 2021; Dippel, Frye, and Leonard 2020), residential schools (Gregg 2018), the Indian Reorganization Act (Frye and Parker 2021), and broadly defined assimilation policy (Miller 2023). This paper contributes to this area of study by extending the research to the Relocation Program and documenting the initial impacts of the program on the important economic outcome of migration.…”

This paper estimates the migratory and fertility effects of the federal Relocation Program, which attempted to move Native American individuals to urban areas under the promises of financial assistance and job training. I find the Relocation Program increased the Native American population in the target cities by more than 100,000 people. I also find that second- and third-generation Native American women living in cities have a 50 percent lower fertility rate than those living in areas with historically large Native American populations. These findings indicate that this program meaningfully shifted the spatial distribution of the Native American population.

Indigenous Nations and the Development of the U.S. Economy: Land, Resources, and Dispossession

Abundant land and strong property rights are conventionally viewed as key factors underpinning U.S. economic development success. This view relies on the “Pristine Myth” of an empty undeveloped land, but the abundant land of North America was already made productive and was the recognized territory of sovereign Indigenous Nations. We demonstrate that the development of strong property rights for European/American settlers was mirrored by the attenuation and increasing disregard of Indigenous property rights. We argue that the dearth of discussion of the dispossession of Indigenous nations results in a misunderstanding of some of the core themes of U.S. economic history.
