Answer:

greater controls over the resources on reservation areas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 gave authorization to several government agencies to enter into contracts with federally recognized Indian tribes. It also gave tribes the authority to administer the funds in any way they see fit, which gave them greater control over their welfare. The act was the result of Indian activism, the Civil Rights movement and grassroots political participation.
