![["Senate Bill No. 872, Chapter 1420, was approved on September 18, 1970, and added Chapter 4.5 to the Education Code in California. This chapter focuses on American Indian education and establishes a Bureau of Indian Education within the Department of Education. It also creates an American Indian Education Council consisting of 16 Indian members who will recommend programs and services to improve education for American Indian children in the state. The council members will serve without compensation but will receive travel expenses. The bill defines \"Indian\" as a person descended from an Indian tribe native to the US and of at least one-fourth Indian ancestry."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_235_15_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Education,%20B-Z,%201971%20(2)/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_235_15_008_thumbnail.jpg "Establishment of the American Indian Education Council: California Senate Bill No. 872")

They also mention a bill that was passed in Congress allowing for the selection, rather than election, of tribal chiefs, and express concerns about the lack of democracy and fairness in this process.
