Explanation

The Indian Relocation Act of 1956 encouraged Indigenous people to leave reservations and move to cities, often by offering help finding jobs and housing. In practice, many faced pressure to relocate and encountered hardship in urban areas. The act’s central impact was relocation for work, rather than removing land from protected status or requiring agricultural development.
