![["The Affiliated Tribes of the Northwest Indians are strongly opposed to a plan to regionalize BIA education without consultation with Indian tribes. The rationale for regionalizing BIA education includes placing line control of Indian schools under professional educators, allowing for more effective use of education positions, and better meeting the objectives of Indian education at the regional level. Regionalization would also facilitate transfer of BIA education facilities to public school districts and potentially allow for local control of schools by Indian groups. The plan is still in the initial planning stage and is subject to debate."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_82_55_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Reorganization,%201970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_82_55_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians: Opposition to the Regionalization of BIA Education Plan")

![["The Navajo Health Authority was created in response to President Nixon's message to Congress about the lagging health of Indian people. The Authority aimed to establish an American Indian Medical School and develop health manpower training programs to improve health care for Navajo and other tribes. The Authority requested funding and support from the Federal Government, Tribal Council, and philanthropic organizations to achieve their goals. They also emphasized the importance of incorporating traditional healing arts and cultural values into their health education programs. The Board of Commissioners certified their resolution to pursue these goals in March 1973."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_11_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Health,%201973%20Feb.%20-%201978%20Sep.,%201973-1978_2-32-10/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_10_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Annual Report 1975: Navajo Health Authority's Journey Towards Improved Indigenous Healthcare")
