    During the 20th century, Native Americans experienced periods of both progress and lack of progress in their treatment by the US government. The 1930s saw the passage of the Indian Reorganization Act, which restored tribal control over land and facilitated loans. However, the 1940s-1960s saw a lack of progress as tribes were forced to assimilate and adopt white culture. From the 1960s-1980s, Native Americans lived in poor conditions with high rates of suicide and alcoholism, but they began establishing advocacy groups and saw some improvements in employment and services. Significant events included the Alcatraz occupation in 1969-1971 and the compensation for the Wounded Knee massacre in 1978.
