![["The Mescalero Apache Tribe and the National Tribal Chairmen's Association express their support for Senate Joint Resolution No. 133, which establishes the Indian Policy Review Commission. They highlight the need for increased representation of Indian members on the commission, push for legislation benefiting Indians to be passed promptly, emphasize the importance of preserving water resources on Indian reservations, and call for the submission of Indian community development and rehabilitation plans. They also stress the importance of appointing qualified Indians to the commission staff for effective communication and participation."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_29_32_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20American%20Indian%20Policy%20Review%20Commission,%20Legislation,%201973%20Mar.%20-%201977%20Nov.,%201973-1977/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_02_29_32_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Joint Statement on the Establishment of the Indian Policy Review Commission: A Plea for Increased Representation, Preservation of Rights, and Active Rebuilding")
![["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")
