Franklin, Assistant to the Secretary for Indian Affairs, discusses the challenges faced by American Indians and the need for new directions in Indian Affairs. He highlights the various lifestyles adopted by Indians, including those who live off reservations, those who retain tribal customs in off-reservation communities, and those who commute to work from reservations. Franklin emphasizes the need for self-determination and economic development among Indian communities. The Department of the Interior is implementing a new program to transfer administration for Indian affairs to tribal governments, with minimal control retained in Washington. The program aims to empower tribes and increase tribal control over budget, education, contracts, and economic opportunities. The President's message of July 1970 rejects forced termination of treaty and trust obligations, signaling a new era in which Indian destinies will be controlled by Indian decisions.

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 Forest Service explained that all lands suitable for agricultural settlement have been settled or allotted, and there are no lands available for homesteading or allotment purposes. The Forest Homestead Act of 1906 did not provide homesteading rights for Indians, and the lands in question were reacquired by the United States for specific purposes and are not open for settlement. The Forest Allotment Act of 1910 allowed eligible Indians to obtain allotments on National Forest lands, but all lands classified for agricultural settlement have been settled or allotted. Congress repealed the 1906 act in 1962 because its purpose had been fulfilled. The Forest Service expressed understanding for the frustrations of those who obtain Certificates of Eligibility but find no lands available for agricultural settlement.

The program aims to provide financial assistance to meet the special educational needs of Indian children in public schools. The new regulations give more control to the local Indian community in determining how funds should be used, in line with the policy of Indian self-determination. Funding for the program in fiscal year 1975 is expected to be almost $28 million, with a focus on supplementing the regular school program to meet the special needs of Indian students. The regulations were developed with input from Indian people to ensure better programs for Indian children. Other changes from the old regulations include broadening eligibility for assistance, allowing funds to be used for pre-school children and educational programs outside of the normal school setting, tightening eligibility requirements for school districts seeking funds for operational expenditures, ensuring more equitable funding between states and within states, and strengthening program and fiscal accountability requirements.

He discussed the challenges faced in providing mortgage credit to individual Indians, the lack of freedom in alienation of land, and the need for a viable mortgage credit mechanism within reservations.

The reorganization resulted in the creation of a new Division of Indian Services and demotions for some employees. Reduction-in-force procedures were applied to employees affected by the reorganization, with salary retention for a two-year period. Some employees have appealed to the Civil Service Commission. Internal movements of employees are expected, but no adverse effects are anticipated. Grade reductions were likely to occur regardless of the reorganization due to a recent Civil Service Commission audit.

There are delays in passing the Oklahoma Indian welfare act, and progress on projects for Indian hospitals and buildings is hindered by funding issues.

Despite efforts in the 1960s, housing conditions have not improved due to population growth, deteriorating housing, and lack of funding from HUD. The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 included a set-aside for Indian housing, but only a fraction of the required units have been contracted due to delays in processing paperwork and accounts receivable issues. Froman criticized HUD for blaming processing delays on legal issues and Indian authorities, and called for legislation to address the unique trust relationship for Indian housing needs.

The program is designed to help tribes develop capabilities and management skills, with a focus on job training and development. Training is conducted in three phases, with the ultimate goal of empowering tribes to take over the operation and management of programs on their reservations. The program is administered through Buy-Indian contracting, with tribes responsible for meeting program objectives. Benefits of the program include job skills development, completion of tribal projects, and economic development. The success of the program relies on maximum local Indian input and involvement. Steps for applying for the program include preparing a tribal resolution and submitting a proposal.

The bill aims to shape federal programs more responsively to the needs of the Indian people. The bill has gone through revisions, with a focus on resolving controversies and improving the Johnson-O'Malley program. The Act requires approval of programs by local Indian parent committees and ensures that funds provided are in addition to those already available under the Indian Education Act. Senator Kennedy fully supports this legislation.
