The National Urban Indian Council is advocating for the promotion of social and economic self-sufficiency for American Indians and Alaska Natives. They are testifying before the Subcommittee on Elementary, Secondary, and Vocational Education about the importance of Indian education. They discuss the accomplishments of Title IV programs, the effects of proposed budget cuts, and why the programs should be continued. They emphasize the increasing number of American Indians and Alaska Natives residing off-reservation and the need for federal support in the school system. They mention the positive impact of the Indian Education Act on Indian and Alaska Native children, including increased participation in higher education and the involvement of parents in local education programs. They also refer to the findings of the National Advisory Council on Indian Education, which support reauthorized Indian Education and highlight the disastrous consequences of losing these programs. The National Urban Indian Council requests full funding and continuation of the Title IV programs.
