![["The Affiliated Tribes of the Northwest Indians are strongly opposed to a plan to regionalize BIA education without consultation with Indian tribes. The rationale for regionalizing BIA education includes placing line control of Indian schools under professional educators, allowing for more effective use of education positions, and better meeting the objectives of Indian education at the regional level. Regionalization would also facilitate transfer of BIA education facilities to public school districts and potentially allow for local control of schools by Indian groups. The plan is still in the initial planning stage and is subject to debate."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_82_55_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Reorganization,%201970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_82_55_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians: Opposition to the Regionalization of BIA Education Plan")
