The National Council on Indian Opportunity has received a draft copy of the "American Indian Center Concept" from Mr. Bill Brokaw, which presents options for development that align with the needs of Indian communities. President Nixon's Indian policy message emphasized the need to help urban Indians, leading to the funding of model Urban Indian Centers that focus on issues like jobs, housing, welfare, and education. The Office of Economic Opportunity is responsible for arranging funding for these centers, with new centers potentially being funded next year. Funding for urban employment assistant activities to Indian organizations is currently on hold. The Executive Director, Robert Robertson, appreciates receiving the proposal and hopes the information provided is helpful.
