Hoover's Quaker upbringing influenced his views that Native Americans needed to achieve economic self-sufficiency. He chose Senator [[Charles Curtis]], an Indian--as his Vice President. (Curtis was the first and last Indian to hold high national office, but he was a figurehead, not a policy maker.) Hoover appointed Charles J. Rhoads as commissioner of Indian affairs. He supported Rhoads' efforts to achieve Indian assimilation and sought to reduce the federal role in Indian affairs to the minimum. He wanted to have Indians acting as individuals instead of as tribes, and assuming the responsibilities of citizenship which had been granted pursuant to [[Indian Citizenship Act of 1924]].<ref>Thomas A.

Regarding to foreign policy, Hoover originated what Roosevelt later called "the [[Good Neighbor Policy]]" by withdrawing American troops from [[Nicaragua]] and [[Haiti]]. He proposed an arms embargo on [[Latin America]] and a one-third reduction in the world's naval, which was called the [[Hoover Plan]]. The [[Roosevelt Corollary]] was dropped as a part of U.S. foreign policy. He and his powerful Secretary of State [[Henry Stimson]] formulated the [[Stimson Doctrine]] that said the United States would not recognize territories gained by force. This meant the U.S. refused to recognize Japan's seizure of Manchuria.
