They argue that the unique needs of American Indian/Alaskan Native educational programs are different from the general population and should remain under the Bureau of Indian Affairs to maintain the trust relationship with Indian tribes. They also request for a detailed plan for the new department's function and the role of Indian education within it, as well as safeguards to ensure adequate funding for Indian education programs."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_31_7_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Education,%201975/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_31_7_0027_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to Transfer of Indian Education Programs: A Call for Action")
