Supporting Indian Education: A Call for Continued Funding for the Institute of the Southern Plains, Inc.

Scope and Contents

The letter 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 letter also mentions a meeting of concerned tribal leaders who oppose the closure of the school and request a study by qualified Indian educators. The letter urges Senator Bartlett's assistance in the matter.
