Legislation Update: Choctaw Termination Act Repealed, 1970-10-15

The document is from W.E. "Dode" McIntosh, Principal Chief of the Creek Nation of Indian Territory, addressing concerns about reorganization plans within the Bureau of Indian Affairs involving the Division of Education. McIntosh criticizes the plan to regionalize education programs, stating that it lacks consultation with Indian people and tribal leaders and may not address the unique needs of different tribes. He emphasizes the importance of quality education for Indian children and urges the Commissioner and Secretary of the Interior to consider the financial challenges faced by administrators in meeting these needs. McIntosh also highlights the success of the community school concept in Indian country.
