Urgent Request for Increased Funding for California Native American Education, 1971-11-03
File — Box: 235, Folder: 15
Identifier: CAC_CC_026_1_235_15_006
The Indian Education Unit in California is requesting assistance from Senator Harris due to inadequate funding for Native American education. Despite California having the third-largest Indian population in the US, the funds allocated under the Johnson O'Malley Act are not enough to meet the educational needs of Native American students in the state. The lack of funding has resulted in projects being unfunded since 1958, and millions of dollars could have made a significant impact on the lives of Native Americans. The unit emphasizes the importance of community involvement and meeting strict guidelines for funding proposals.
