The purpose of the "Declaration of Indian Purpose" was to allow the Native American tribes to perserve their cultural identities as well as to be able to

rule over themselves and choose how they want to live.

This declaration was followed with social movements and legislation to preserve autonomy amongst the Native tribes from the American government.
