Abstract: The place of Indians in American society may be seen as one aspect of the question of the integration of minority groups into the social system. Only by maintenance of freedom for cultural variation can a heterogeneous so ciety keep conflict at a minimum; individual freedom is a widely shared cultural value. Integration means a unity that permits differences and opposes only dif ferences that lead to discipline conflicts. It implies full equality in health serv ices and in educational, political, and economic opportunity among all groups. In asking what shall be the place of Indians in American society, the authors give an analysis of the conditions that favor or hamper integration.—Ed.
