Title: Concerns Regarding Bill S-991 on Indian Education and Trust Responsibilities, 1976-10-14

 Item — Box: 31, Folder: 7
Identifier: CAC_CC_003_2_31_7_0026
The Idaho Intertribal Policy Board and the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians are expressing their opposition to Bill S-991, which aims to transfer Indian Education programs from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to a new executive department. They argue that this transfer would jeopardize trust responsibilities under treaties and create administrative problems for tribal governments. They urge President Carter to consider the input of tribal governments in the future organization and direction of Indian Education Policy Development and Program Management. Additionally, they remind President Carter of his promises to American Indian tribes and request a thorough review of the matter.
