Item — Box: 235, Folder: 15

Identifier: CAC_CC_026_1_235_15_003

Scope and Contents

The letter provides information to Senator Harris regarding the allocation of Johnson-O'Malley funds for Indian education in California. It explains that California received JOM funds prior to 1958 but discontinued them in favor of other federal programs. Despite requests for JOM funding in recent years, California may not receive significant funding in the future due to criteria for eligibility based on tax-exempt Indian-owned lands and large numbers of Indian children in school districts. The letter suggests looking to other federal programs for funding and emphasizes the importance of providing adequate education for all educationally deprived students, including Indian children.
