![["Valentino Cordova, Chairman of the All Indian Pueblo Council and New Mexico Indian Education Board of Regents, opposes bill S.1017 in its current form as it does not provide new ideas in Indian education. He suggests amendments to involve Indian tribes more in education decisions, such as changing definitions, allowing federal employees to work with tribes, and giving more authority to Indian community education committees. Cordova emphasizes the importance of Indian self-determination in administering funds and services for Indian students."]](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_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Strengthening Indian Education: Testimony on S.1017")
