Clinton Presidential Library
1200 President Clinton Avenue
Little Rock, AR 72201
Inventory for FOIA Request 2006-0197-F (segment 1)
Records on Native American Policy During the Clinton Administration
Extent
71 folders, approximately 3,700 pages
Access
Collection is open to all researchers. Access to Clinton Presidential Records is governed by the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 USC 22 as amended) and the Presidential Records Act (PRA)
(44 USC 22) and therefore records may be restricted in whole or in part in accordance with legal
exemptions.
Copyright
Documents in this collection that were prepared by officials of the United States government as part of
their official duties are in the public domain. Researchers are advised to consult the copyright law of the
United States (Title 17, USC) which governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of
copyrighted material.
Provenance
Official records of William Jefferson Clinton’s presidency are housed at the Clinton Presidential Library
and administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under the provisions of
the Presidential Records Act (PRA).
Processed by
Staff Archivist, 2006. Previously restricted materials are added as they are released.
Scope and Content
The materials in FOIA 2006-0197-F are a selective, not necessarily all inclusive, body of documents
responsive to the topic of the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials.
FOIA request 2006-0197-F contains materials from several agencies and individuals, including the
National Security Council. During his two terms in office President Clinton made every effort to
improve the quality of life for American Indians. He became the first Chief Executive since James
Monroe to meet with tribal leaders at the White House. During his administration measures were passed
facilitating the purchase of homes by Indians, providing for economic development on Indian
reservations, and furthering educational opportunities for Indian children. These achievements were
dealt with in press releases, speeches by President Clinton, and press briefings which ended up in the
files of the National Security Council.

�The White House Staff and Office Files contain handwritten notes, memos, articles, correspondence,
and printed materials maintained by individual staff members. The files of C. Johnson consist almost
entirely of presidential schedules and newspaper articles concerning the issue of tribal donations to the
Democratic National Committee (DNC). In the files of Stephen Neuwirth can be found printed
materials regarding the Supreme Court decision of Seminole Tribe of Florida v. Florida et al. This case
involved the issue of state sovereign immunity and Indian casino gambling. Information pertaining to
the economic development of Indians is located in the records of Weber. These papers contain
handwritten notes and scholarly reports on the subject. Particularly noteworthy in the latter instance is
an article entitled ―Restoring Sustainable Reservation Economies.‖
The NSC Cable, Email, and Records Management Systems contain a considerable amount of material
devoted to the topic of indigenous populations and self-determination. The Working Group on
Indigenous Populations at the United Nations was trying to come up with a statement on the problem
acceptable to everyone. The United States found itself in a difficult position because of the less than
ideal treatment of American Indians throughout its history. The Clinton Administration thought selfdetermination applied only to local matters. In other words, American Indians could make decisions
regarding tribal concerns and the like. But self-determination didn't extend to the level of being able to
form their own separate government. In the end, the Working Group arrived at a declaration deemed
suitable.
System of Arrangement
Records that were responsive to this FOIA request were found in two collection areas—Clinton
Presidential Records: White House Staff and Office Files and Clinton Presidential Records—NSC
Cable, Email, and Records Management Systems. As policy, Staff and Office Files are processed at the
folder level. That is, individual documents are not selected and removed from a folder for processing.
WHORM Subject and WHORM Alpha files are processed at the document level. While this method
maintains folder integrity, it frequently results in the incidental processing of documents that are not
wholly responsive to the subject area. The WHORM Subject File was compiled by the White House
Office of Records Management and is a series of categories designated by a letter/number combination.
A complete listing of the categories with detailed descriptions is provided in our research room.
