- Description:
- The Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, also known as S. 1017, represents a response to the demands of American Indians for self-determination and better education assistance. The bill aims to shape federal programs more responsively to the needs of the Indian people. The bill has gone through revisions, with a focus on resolving controversies and improving the Johnson-O'Malley program. The Act requires approval of programs by local Indian parent committees and ensures that funds provided are in addition to those already available under the Indian Education Act. Senator Kennedy fully supports this legislation.
