![["The National Study of American Indian Education, directed by Robert J. Havighurst, recommends that decision making about Indian education should be increasingly in the hands of Indians. The report suggests greater Indian influence on education programs, more Indian representation on school boards, and curriculum that is compatible with Indian needs. The study also emphasizes the importance of maintaining respect for Indian culture while preparing students to navigate both Indian and non-Indian societies. President Nixon's Message on Indian Affairs and the U.S. Senate Sub-Committee on Indian Education's recommendations are also endorsed in the report."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_2_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Education,,%201970-1972/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_2_0002_thumbnail.jpg "National Study Recommends Greater Indian Control in Education: Major Findings and Recommendations from the National Study of American Indian Education")
