Ramah Navajo High School signed a contract with the Bureau of Indian Affairs under protest, feeling that the contract procedure did not fulfill the school board's needs. They believe education should not be treated as a commodity and that contracts should be based on the Johnson O'Malley law. They argue that Indian children have a right to B.I.A. education funding and that an arbitration clause is necessary in the contract to resolve disputes.
