- Description:
- 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.
