The proposed facilities include a new secondary school for grades 9-12, with classrooms, special rooms, labs, a gymnasium, and a dormitory for girls.

![["Lucy Covington, a Delegate from the Northwest Affiliated Tribes, discusses the lack of proper education for Indian children and the impact it has had on their ability to participate in government and make decisions affecting their destiny. She expresses support for Senate Bill 1017, the Indian Self-determination and Educational Reform Act of 1973, which aims to increase educational opportunities for Indian children and adults. Covington also highlights the need for more Indian teachers and administrators, improved school facilities, and expanded professional involvement of Indian people in education. She requests that the bill be amended to include tribal schools in order to ensure they can benefit from the program."]](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_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Empowering Native Education: The Fight for Self-Determination and Reform")
