![["A committee print of the Indian Self Determination and Educational Reform Act of 1973, introduced in the Senate to promote maximum Indian participation in government and education, establish a national Indian education program, and encourage the development of human resources for Indian people. The Act recognizes the historical and special legal relationship between the Federal Government and American Indian people, and aims to transition from Federal domination of programs to meaningful participation of Indian people in planning and administration. The Act also sets a national goal to provide quality educational services and opportunities for Indian children and adults."]](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_12_0000-Indian%20Self-determination,%201953/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_12_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Indian Self Determination and Educational Reform Act of 1973")
![["The Ramah Navajo School Board has not yet recontracted with the Bureau of Indian Affairs for school operation funds, citing concerns about the new policy of vesting authority in Area Offices instead of the Central Office in Washington D.C. The School Board feels powerless in negotiations with the Albuquerque Area Office and believes the Bureau is intentionally keeping Indian communities in a cycle of powerlessness. They argue for self-determination and equitable rights in negotiating contracts for their schools. The Bureau is criticized for inequities in funding and oversight of contract schools compared to their own schools. The School Board is determined to run their own school for the next 100 years and calls for changes to legislation to support Indian control of education."]](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_14_0000-Indian%20Self-determination,%201953/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_14_0024_thumbnail.jpg "Empowering Indian Communities: A Call for Self-Determination in Education")
