- Description:
- The letter from Ramah Navajo High School to Commissioner Louis Bruce expresses their concerns about the contract signed under the "Buy Indian Act" for education services. They believe education should not be treated as a commodity and that contracts should be drawn up using the Johnson O'Malley law specifically for education. They also argue for the inclusion of an arbitration clause in the contract to resolve disputes between the school board and the government.
