- The American Indian Federation (AIF) was a political organization that served as "the major voice of Native American criticism of federal Indian policies during the New Deal", specifically from 1934 through the mid-1940s. The AIF was an early Native American effort to influence national policies, and attracted harsh criticism for its affiliation with several extremist groups. Historian Laurence Hauptman described the AIF as a complex group with three shared principles: "that Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Collier be removed from office; that the Indian Reorganization Act be overturned, and most importantly, that the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) be abolished". On other questions, AIF members had diverse opinions, most notably on the issue of assimilation. AIF President Joseph Bruner, for example, argued for the complete integration of Indians into white society, while one of its strongest writers believed in Indian cultural separation and sovereignty.
