![["Various tribal organizations and councils are expressing concern and opposition to Senate Bill S.991, which proposes transferring Bureau of Indian Affairs Education Programs to a new Federal Department of Education. They argue that the unique needs of American Indian/Alaskan Native educational programs are different from the general population and should remain under the Bureau of Indian Affairs to maintain the trust relationship with Indian tribes. They also request for a detailed plan for the new department's function and the role of Indian education within it, as well as safeguards to ensure adequate funding for Indian education programs."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_31_7_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Education,%201975/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_31_7_0027_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to Transfer of Indian Education Programs: A Call for Action")
![["The document outlines five major reasons why Indian education programs should not be transferred to the new Department of Education. These reasons include opposition from Indian tribes and organizations, lack of assurance of improvement in education, the need for a focal point for tribes to deal with, the risk of tribes competing with larger groups, and the importance of Indian self-determination in education. The transfer is seen as potentially compounding existing issues and signaling the end of the Bureau of Indian Affairs as a true advocate for Indian people."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_31_6_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Education,%201977/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_31_6_0035_thumbnail.jpg "Challenges of Transferring Indian Education Programs to the New Department of Education")
