- Description:
- The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians expresses general support for the Indian Self-Determination and Educational Reform Act, but is not satisfied with the provisions related to Indian educational reform. They believe that the focus should be on improving reservation-based schools operated by Indian tribes rather than subsidizing attendance at public schools. They also call for increased funding for Indian education programs and projects. They urge for modifications to the bill to ensure improvement in educational programs for Indians living on reservations.
