Scope and Contents

The Yakima Tribal Council is unhappy with the Bureau of Indian Affairs' relationship with self-styled Indian leaders, who they feel do not represent the interests of reservation Indians. They are concerned that the BIA is more focused on urban Indians than reservation Indians, and that this could lead to a repeat of the situation in 1970, when priorities were shifted away from reservations.
