For nearly 100 years the Bureau of Indian Affairs has expended large sums on Indian reservations for subsistence and agricultural development. A review of this expenditure for the Lower Brule Sioux Reservation shows that this pattern has resulted in poverty and unemployment. In 1950 the tribal council and Bureau of Indian Affairs began to consider investment that would create employment opportunities, but BIA control and other barriers prevented any significant development.Many barriers to development persist, but in the past decade the Lower Brule Tribal Council has learned to apply for grants from a variety of government and public agencies. Since the authority to spend this money has been vested in the tribal council, it has begun to learn the uses of political power. The tribal council is now extensively involved in grantsmanship and is experimenting with a wide variety of programs intended to develop employment opportunities. The problems related to such development are reviewed and analyzed.
