- Description:
- The testimony presented to the Senate Subcommittee on Indian Affairs by representatives of the Michigan State Department of Education focused on the need for accurate counting of Indian students in schools, continued funding through the Johnson-O'Malley Act, and the establishment of an Indian Desk in each State Department of Education. 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.
