![["The document outlines the Indian Educational Reform Act, which allows the Secretary of Education to enter into contracts with states, political subdivisions, Indian tribes, or tribal organizations to provide education to Indian students in public schools. The contracts must include an approved education plan that ensures satisfactory educational objectives, protection of trust resources, adequate equipment and personnel, and adequate funding. The plan must also reflect that school districts affected by the contract receive equal funding compared to other districts within the state, and funds must be used for special educational programs 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_14_0000-Indian%20Self-determination,%201953/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_14_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Indian Educational Reform Act: Providing Education for Indigenous Students in Public Schools")

![["Senator Dewey F. Bartlett discusses the unique relationship between Indian people and the Federal government, particularly in regards to federal housing programs. He highlights the challenges faced by Indian tribes in accessing and adapting federal housing programs to their needs. He also discusses past efforts to coordinate agency activities and improve housing conditions for Indian people. Bartlett emphasizes the importance of establishing fixed production levels, enforcement procedures, and lead agency responsibility in future agreements to ensure better housing for Indian people. He also mentions recent legislative changes that aim to improve tribal housing programs but notes that federal agencies still play a significant role in funding and assisting in the development of Indian housing projects. He calls for improvements in the federal agency bureaucracy to speed up the pace of the national Indian housing effort. The purpose of the hearings is to gather testimony from tribal leaders and housing authority representatives on efforts to provide safe and decent housing to tribal members, with a focus on the situation in the State of Oklahoma."]](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_8_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Housing,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_8_0009_thumbnail.jpg "Challenges and Opportunities in Federal Housing Programs for Native Americans: A Call for Action")
