After World War II, the U.S. federal Indian policy was changed from the Indian New Deal to the Termination policy. The federal government tried to end the federal trust responsibility to Indian tribes and abolish their reservations. By the 1960s, the Pacific Northwest developed into the most rapidly growing industrial area in the United States owing to its rich natural resources. In Particular, the Hanford Site in southeast-central Washington became one of the most important nuclear facilities in the American West with the strong support of local politicians such as Henry M. Jackson. Although it helped the economic development of local communities in southeast central Washington, it brought serious environmental damages to the Colorado River as well as surrounding residents including Native American tribes. This essay analyzes the relations of the federal Indian policy and the impacts of the military-industrial complex on Native Americans, focusing on the Hanford Site during the Cold War era.
