The American Indian Movement (AIM) is seeking funds to establish a Washington Office which will serve as a communications and education center for AIM's activities and for coordination with other Indian organizations. The American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded in 1968 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. AIM's three primary targets for change are education, churches, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). AIM has expanded to 20 local chapters across the country. Progress on the target areas includes: - AIM fought for and got an Indian Advisory Board to the Minneapolis Public School System. With the Indian drop-out rate approaching 90%, AIM announced its intent to seek federal funding for an all Indian school in the City of Minneapolis. - Because of the churches' history of missionary activity among Indian people, AIM feels that major changes rest within the responsibilities of the churches. AIM's basic concerns were presented to the Lutheran Council U.S.A. at a joint conference of Lutheran Churches and Indian people (LUCHIP).

![["The Tribal Indian Land Rights Association of Oregon has officers and board members who are working to protect the rights of Indian people in Oregon. They are concerned about the allotment issue and feel that the federal representatives are not adequately representing the Indian people. They are organizing to fight for Indian land rights and have filed suits in various states, including Oregon. Representative Robert Smith has disclosed that Indian claims to federal lands in Oregon could wipe out state lands and forests, and a hearing will be held to address these issues. Amos A. Hopkins-Dukes, the National Executive Director, is leading the effort to acquire land for Indians under an 1887 allotment act."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_41_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201966/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_41_13_0046_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Request for Assistance in Indian Affairs")
