Abstract:
The New Deal of the 1930s that impacted Indian society was designed to correct the erroneous policies of the previous 50 years. Despite its best attempts, it failed to have a significant impact on the Cherokee of western North Carolina. The infusion of public money weakened the tribe's economic foothold as members were discouraged from farming and cultural handicraft.
