It is hereby declared to be the policy of Congress to provide
capital on a reimbursable basis to help develop and utilize Indian
resources, both physical and human, to a point where the Indians
will fully exercise responsibility for the utilization and
management of their own resources and where they will enjoy a
standard of living from their own productive efforts comparable to
that enjoyed by non-Indians in neighboring communities.
