Final answer:
The question contains false information; the Termination Act continued into the 1960s and was officially abandoned in 1963, with restoration of tribes starting in the 1970s.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement in the question is false. While it's true that during the 1950s the federal government pursued a policy called termination, which aimed at assimilating Native Americans into mainstream society by ending the federal recognition of tribes and liquidating reservation lands, the specific details mentioned in the question are inaccurate. The policy, rather than being repealed in 1961, continued into the 1960s. The policy of termination was officially abandoned in 1963, and most of the tribes that underwent termination were restored beginning in the 1970s, recognizing the detrimental effects the policy had on Native American communities.
