The report focuses on the negative aspects of the program without acknowledging its benefits, while the new handbook introduces new safeguards that may hinder the delivery of housing and prevent access to Mutual-Help Housing."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_33_6_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Housing,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_6_0027_thumbnail.jpg "Critique of the Staff Report on Indian Housing Effort and the New Mutual-Help Handbook")

![["The National Congress of American Indians expresses support for the Indian Self-Determination and Educational Reform Act of 1973, particularly in regards to promoting Indian self-determination and improving educational opportunities for children. They support the provisions for tribal contracting of services and greater tribal control over program management. However, they express apprehension over certain requirements in the bill, such as financial obligations for school districts. They also advocate for the establishment of community education committees with significant powers and additional funding for the Indian Advisory Council on Education. Overall, they support the bill but request further consultation on certain aspects."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_33_15_0000-Indian%20Self-determination,%201953/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_15_0009_thumbnail.jpg "Empowering Indian Self-Determination and Educational Reform: Statement to the Subcommittee on Indian Affairs")

![["The Coalition of Indian Controlled School Boards, Inc. supports Senate Bill 1017, which aims to give Indians greater control over their children's education. However, they have concerns about the limitations in the bill, which they believe prevent true Indian self-determination in education. They argue that the Federal Government should not have discretion in deciding which Indians receive funding for education, as this hinders progress towards full Indian self-government in education. They also criticize the Bureau of Indian Affairs for thwarting educational self-determination and emphasize the need for revisions to the bill to truly empower Indian communities in education."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_33_15_0000-Indian%20Self-determination,%201953/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_15_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Indian Self-Determination and Educational Reform: A Call for Greater Control")
