- Description:
- The document from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to Senator Bartlett discusses the future of Intermountain School, stating that it will remain open at least through the 1974-75 school year. There are discussions about potentially using the school as an inter-tribal or all-tribal school, but cost factors and impact on existing programs need to be considered. A task force is being formed to explore the possible uses of the facility, with input from Indian organizations. The document also mentions a meeting of concerned tribal leaders who oppose the closure of the school and request a study by qualified Indian educators. The document urges Senator Bartlett's assistance in the matter.
