- Description:
- The National Congress of American Indians is strongly against a recent request for a loan from Russia for Indian development, stating that it is insulting to the intelligence and patriotism of the Indian people. They emphasize the loyalty of American Indians to the United States and express confidence in Congress to provide needed funds. The organization works closely with tribes to improve economic conditions and denounces the request for a foreign loan as a publicity stunt. They urge for responsible and proper channels to be used for development programs.
