The American Indian Movement (AIM) is seeking funds to establish a Washington Office which will serve as a communications and education center for AIM's activities and for coordination with other Indian organizations. The American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded in 1968 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. AIM's three primary targets for change are education, churches, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). AIM has expanded to 20 local chapters across the country. Progress on the target areas includes: - AIM fought for and got an Indian Advisory Board to the Minneapolis Public School System. With the Indian drop-out rate approaching 90%, AIM announced its intent to seek federal funding for an all Indian school in the City of Minneapolis. - Because of the churches' history of missionary activity among Indian people, AIM feels that major changes rest within the responsibilities of the churches. AIM's basic concerns were presented to the Lutheran Council U.S.A. at a joint conference of Lutheran Churches and Indian people (LUCHIP).

The Department of the Interior has responded, stating that a petition was circulated by students, leading to a meeting with parents and tribal leaders. A Navajo legal aid organization has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the students, which is pending in Federal Court. Mrs. Harvey had previously contacted Senator Harris about discrimination against Navajo students by white teachers at the school. The letter details instances of harassment, threats, intimidation, and physical abuse towards Navajo students. Mrs. Harvey is willing to provide testimony under oath and has faced accusations from local authorities.
