Organizations will increase efforts to lobby support for anti-Indian legislation and legal contests through state governments. Particular emphasis is being placed on Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Alaska and Nevada. Because some of the ultraconservative groups are lead by individuals who have achieved some prominence as State and County elected officials, they are even more able to wear the label of respectability. Indian government, fishing, hunting, land, taxation, equal rights, will broaden as the principal themes of the Anti-Indian Movement. Changes in the U.S. Supreme Court opposing Indian tribes will be increasingly exploited.
Indian tribes can expect a substantial escalation in frequency of incidents and political action.
Despite the growing Anti-Indian Movement, there is no effective plan among Indian tribes to counter it across the country or inside Indian reservations. There is no consensus among Indian leaders about what the Anti-Indian Movement consists of, nor is there a consensus about what the movement actually means and why it is occurring. This condition of disarray will continue to be exploited. Indian Tribes are on the defensive in nine states in the United States and three provinces in Canada. Anti-Indian organizational efforts are strongest in Washington, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Alaska and Nevada in the United States.
