The Constitutionalist Party regrets the past actions of the United States federal government with regard to the affairs of American Indians and seeks to return to them their rights over their lives, property and self-government.

The Constitutionalist Party supports the following actions:

1. All Indians are to be allowed to choose their nature of citizenship and autonomy, up to and including absolute sovereignty.

2. American Indians should have all of their property rights restored so that they may use their land as they wish.

3. The Bureau of Indian Affairs should be abolished or used only as an intermediary between the federal government and the tribal governments. All tribal members should have full power over the creation of their governmental system.

4. Negotiations should be held in order to settle remaining governmental obligations to all American Indian tribes.

The CP also advocates that any and all damages caused to Indian-owned lands by resource development, disposal or otherwise be repaid fully by those responsible for it.
