Specific recommendations were made for revisions to the Indian Self-Determination and Educational Reform Act of 1973, including equal salaries for educational personnel serving Indians, forward funding for the Act, and the construction of schools in close proximity to Indian children's homes rather than boarding schools."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_003_2_33_14_0023.jpg "Testimony on S. 1017: Indian Self-Determination and Educational Reform Act of 1973")
