![["Oyate, Inc., a non-profit Indian-controlled state corporation, operated a successful bilingual education program at Loneman Day School and Red Cloud Indian School in South Dakota. Despite the program's success, there has been a delay in renewing the contract for the upcoming school year. The delay is due to tribal politics and the inadequacies of the Bureau of Indian Affairs' decision-making apparatus. The situation is further complicated by the actions of the local BIA Area Director. The Coalition of Indian Controlled School Boards is advocating for the renewal of Oyate's contract and requesting immediate action to avoid further delays."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_266_24_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Indian%20Schools,%201972/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_266_24_006_thumbnail.jpg "Letter Urging the Continuation of the Bilingual Education Project at Loneman Day School and Red Cloud Indian School")

Preference is given to individuals of one-fourth degree or more of Indian blood, but qualified non-Indians are also considered. Senator Fred R. Harris is asked to consider providing assistance to Jackson in finding a job.

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.
