The U.I.P.A. Board of Directors has selected Spokane,
Washington as the site for our first annual conference,
to be held at the Sheraton Hotel, on August 16 through
the 20th. It is anticipated that two to four hundred
planners and observers will be in attendance, coming from
Indian reservations and urban communities. Last years
attendance included representation from 26 states and
the District of Columbia.
American Indians, like so many other groups in this
bicentennial year, are looking for truth, respect
and integrity from those in government and the Amer-
ican public. Indians from every part of the country
are anxious to hear your policy on-going for the
"First Americans". Therefore, the U.I.P.A. Board of
Directors would like to invite you to be a speaker at
our Annual Conference Banquet at 1:00 p.m., Friday,
August 20, at the Sheraton-Spokane Hotel.
The theme of the conference centers around planning-
economic, social and community development, and the
American Indian.
We look forward to hearing from you in the near
future and hope your response will be positive.
With your permission, we would like to follow-
up with a telephore call to one of your staff
members to answer any additional questions you
may have.
Thank you for your consideration.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
August 15, 1976
I send warmest greetings to the delegates at the First Annual
Conference of the United Indian Planners Association.
One hundred and seventy years ago, President Jefferson said,
"The proper role of the Federal Government is to help Indians
find their way along a new trail -- one which leads to equal
citizenship, maximum self-sufficiency and full participation
in American life. "
A year and a half ago, the Congress in enacting the Indian Self-
Determination Act reaffirmed the continuing commitment of
our government to this task by stating, "The Congress hereby
recognizes the obligation of the United States to respond to the
strong expression of the Indian people for self-determination
by assuring maximum Indian participation in the direction of
educational as well as other Federal services to Indian com-
munities so as to render such services more responsive to the
needs and desires of those communities."
In signing this Act, I added that it will be through the initiatives
of Indian communities that the authorities provided for will be
implemented. I urged these communities to make the fullest
possible use of these authorities, and I pledged the support of
my Administration to this end.
Indian people know more than most Americans that promises
and policies by themselves are not enough. But thanks to the
intelligent and persistent efforts of many individuals and organ-
izations such as your own, these policies are finally coming to
fruition.
By working together, I am confident that we can forge a brighter
future for American Indian people.

FORD is LIBRA 07835
FEW GROUPS IN AMERICA HAVE PROVIDED AS RICH A
CULTURAL HERITAGE TO THE NATION AS THE AMERICAN INDIAN
HAS. YOUR DEEDS OF HEROISM AND SACRIFICE ARE LEGEND;
YOUR ART HAS BROUGHT BEAUTY TO MEN AND WOMEN EVERYWHERE,
AND YOUR DESIGNS HAVE INFLUENCED BUILDINGS THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD. YOUR SENSE OF HARMONY WITH NATURE HAS POINTED THE
WAY TO AN ENHANCED ENVIRONMENT.
DESPITE INJUSTICES SUFFERED BY MANY IN THE PAST THE
INDIAN PEOPLE HAVE SHOWN A LOYALTY TO THE NATION IN TIME
OF WAR UNSURPASSED. YOUR INDIAN LANGUAGE CODE HELPED THE
COUNTRY DEFEAT JAPAN IN THE PACIFIC, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN
HAVE FOUGHT BRAVELY WITH EVERY BRANCH OF THE ARMED SERVICES
2
WHENEVER THE NATION CALLED.
REGARDLESS OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION AND YOUR SACRIFICES
MANY INDIAN PEOPLE CONTINUE TO FACE DIFFICULT ECONOMIC
TIMES, HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT AND UNDUE HARDSHIP.
THIS NATIONAL CONTRADICTION OF THE RICHNESS OF THE
INDIAN CULTURE COUPLED WITH THE IMPOVERISHMENT OF MANY
OF THE INDIAN PEOPLE MAKES THE CHALLENGE FACING THE
INDIAN PLANNER ONE OF THE GREATEST CHALLENGES IN THE
FIELD OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT.
FORD LIBRA, GIVE
AS PLANNERS YOU ARE FACED WITH THE GIGANTIC PROBLEMS
OF: HOW TO BUILD A SOUND ECONOMIC PROGRAM FOR INDIAN
PEOPLE WITH THE LIMITED RESOURCES ON MOST RESERVATIONS.
HOW TO CREATE JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIAN PEOPLE
WITHOUT DESTROYING INDIAN AND TRIBAL CULTURAL VALUES.
HOW TO MOBILIZE RESOURCES FROM OUTSIDE THE RESERVATION
3
TO ASSIST IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND JOB CREATION
WITHOUT ABROGATING THE RIGHT OF INDIAN PEOPLE TO
DECIDE THEIR OWN COURSE OF ACTION AND DEVELOP THEIR
OWN OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM BASED UPON
THE DECISIONS OF THE INDIAN COMMUNITY.
YOU, AS PROFESSIONAL PLANNERS FOR THE INDIAN
PEOPLE, HOLD THE KEY TO ANY REAL SOLUTION TO THE
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROBLEMS FACING INDIAN PEOPLE.
YOUR ABILITY TO MARSHALL THE SUPPORT OF THE
TRIBAL COUNCIL AND THE MEMBERS OF THE INDIAN COMMUNITY
WILL BE NECESSARY BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN BEGIN TO PROJECT
GOALS.
YOUR ABILITY AND SKILL TO PLAN AND IMPLEMENT JOB-CREATING
OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF INDIAN AND TRIBAL
CULTURAL VALUES WILL BE VITAL TO ANY SUCCESS,
4
YOUR ABILITY TO APPRAISE THE NATURAL RESOURCE
POTENTIALS OF THE RESERVATION, AND TO KNOW WHICH
OF THESE RESOURCES THE INDIAN PEOPLE OF THE TRIBE
WISH TO PROTECT, IMPROVE AND DEVELOP WILL ALSO
BE FUNDAMENTAL.
YOUR PLANNING SKILL IN ASSISTING THE TRIBAL COUNCIL
CHART A COURSE OF RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT THAT ENHANCES
THE TRADITIONAL RELATIONSHIP OF THE TRIBE TO ITS
LAND, WHILE BRINGING THE GREATEST POSSIBLE ECONOMIC
RETURN TO THE INDIAN PEOPLE WILL BE NECESSARY.
YOUR PUBLIC RELATIONS UNDERSTANDING AND KNOW-HOW IN
INSURING BROAD COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN THE PLANNING
PROCESS WILL ALSO BE IMPORTANT TO ANY SUCCESSFUL
DEVELOPMENT.
5
YOUR SKILL AS A PLANNER AND AS A COOPERATOR IN MARSHALLING
THE RESOURCES OUTSIDE THE RESERVATION WHICH CAN BE BROUGHT
TO BEAR ON RESERVATION PROBLEMS WILL PERHAPS BE THE
GREATEST TEST OF YOUR PLANNING PROFESSIONALISM.
OUTSIDE THE RESERVATION, SOMETIMES ALIENATED, AND
OFTEN, AT BEST, NOT COMMUNICATING TOO WELL WITH TRIBAL
LEADERS IS THE SUB-STATE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
WHICH OFTEN WOULD LIKE TO ASSIST IN SOLVING MUTUAL
PROBLEMS WITH THE TRIBAL LEADERS IF INVITED TO DO SO.
BEYOND THE DISTRICT LEVEL IS THE STATE, WHOSE GOVERNOR,
NOW FORTIFIED WITH THE RECENTLY ESTABLISHED 302(A) STATE
PLANNING PROCESS GRANTS FROM EDA, IS ANXIOUS TO EXTEND
GREATER STATE ASSISTANCE TO DISTRICTS AND INDIAN PLANNERS
AND HAVE IN RETURN THE IMPUT OF INDIAN AND DISTRICT
PLANNING AREAS INTO OVERALL STATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
PLANS.
6
MOST STATES NOW CAN AND WILL PROVIDE INDIAN
PLANNERS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER ASSISTANCE
WITHOUT USURPING THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT PREROGATIVES
THAT BELONG TO THE INDIAN PEOPLE, AND ONE TEST OF A
SKILLFUL INDIAN PLANNER WILL BE HIS ABILITY TO SECURE
SUCH ASSISTANCE.
BEYOND THE STATE LEVEL AND ANXIOUS TO ASSIST
SINCE THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS ON
RESERVATIONS IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE BROAD OVERALL PLANNING
BEING DONE FOR THE REGION ARE THE REGIONAL COMMISSIONS,
SUCH AS THE FOUR CORNERS REGIONAL COMMISSION. THESE
ORGANIZATIONS ARE STRUCTURED TO ENCOURAGE INTERAGENCY
COORDINATION OF PLANNING ACTIVITIES WITHIN AND AMONG
STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT AND THE RESERVATIONS
IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN LOCAL ECONOMIES, CREATE NEW
7
OPPORTUNITIES FOR EMPLOYMENT AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY
OF LIFE.
THE SKILLED INDIAN PLANNER WILL UNDERSTAND THE
INTER-DEPENDENCY OF REGIONAL AND STATE DEVELOPMENT
RIGHT DOWN TO THE AREA AND RESERVATION DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMS. HE WILL, THEREFORE, WORK CLOSELY WITH THE
APPROPRIATE OFFICERS OF THE REGIONAL COMMISSIONS, AND
STATE STAFFS IN ORDER TO REINFORCE HIS OWN PLANNING
EFFORT FOR THE RESERVATION AND BRING OUTSIDE RESOURCES
INTO THE RESERVATION'S ECONOMY.
IN SOME AREAS COOPERATION WILL BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE
OF YEARS OF POOR COMMUNICATION BUT IN MOST STATES AND
THROUGHOUT MOST REGIONAL COMMISSIONS, AND ON MOST
RESERVATIONS ENLIGHTENED LEADERSHIP AND UNDERSTANDING
8
WILL HELP OPEN DOORS FOR THE INDIAN PEOPLE BY BRINGING
ABOUT MEANINGFUL COOPERATION AND JOINT EFFORT IN THE
FIELD OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, FROM WHICH ALL WILL
BENEFIT.
A HISTORY OF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ACHIEVEMENT IS
BEING WRITTEN TODAY BY INDIAN PEOPLE AND INDIAN PLANNERS
THROUGH WISE UTILIZATION OF THE PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES
AVAILABLE TO THEM. AMONG THESE ACHIEVEMENTS ARE SUCH
OUTSTANDING PROGRAMS AS:
1. THE AMERICAN INDIAN NATIONAL BANK
A COOPERATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN AMERICAN INDIAN
LEADERS AND SEVERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO PROVIDE FUNDS
FOR FINANCING INDIAN DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.
2. AMERICAN INDIAN CATTLEMEN'S CONSORTIUM
IN 1976 EDA PROVIDED A $3,000,000 GRANT TO A
CONSORTIUM OF 15 INDIAN TRIBES IN MONTANA, NORTH DAKOTA AND
SOUTH DAKOTA TO ESTABLISH A LONG-TERM, LOW-INTEREST LOAN
9
PROGRAM FOR INDIAN CATTLEMEN TO HELP RESTORE HERDS DESTORYED
BY LATE SPRING STORMS.
3. AMERICAN INDIAN MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE
A GOVERNMENT PROJECT TO FUND AN ALL-INDIAN MANAGEMENT
INSTITUTE THAT PROVIDES EXPERTISE TO INDIAN TRIBES IN BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENT, MOTEL OPERATIONS, AND GOVERMENT ADMINISTRATION.
4. AMERICAN INDIAN TRAVEL COMMISSION
AN ALL-INDIAN OPERATED TRAVEL COMMISSION THAT PROVIDES
EXPERTISE TO INDIAN TRIBES IN THE TOURISM-RECREATION FIELD.
5. ACQUACULTURE PROJECTS
NUMEROUS PROFITABLE PROJECTS ALL-INDIAN MANAGED TO
PRODUCE PROCESS AND DISTRIBUTE THROUGH INDIAN-OWNED ENTERPRISES
SEA FOOD PRODUCTS.
6. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
NUMEROUS AGRICULTURAL EXPANSION PROJECTS INCLUDING
IRRIGATION, LIVESTOCK, FRUITS AND VEGETABLE PRODUCTION, PROCESSING
AND MARKETING.
10
7. MUSEUMS AND TOURIST CENTERS
SEVENTEEN MUSEUMS TO HOUSE CULTURAL TREASURES AND
TOURIST RELATED CENTERS.
8. INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS AND INDUSTRIAL PARKS
42 INDUSTRIAL PARKS.
9. INDIAN TOURISM AND RECREATION PROJECTS
65 PROJECTS-INDIAN-OWNED IN THE TOURISM AND RECREATION
FIELD INCLUDING MOTELS, RODEO GROUNDS, TRAILS, FISHING AREAS,
ETC.
THESE PROJECTS, EXEMPLARY AS THEY ARE, REPRESENT BUT THE
FIRST CHAPTER IN THE DEVELOPMENT HISTORY FOR INDIAN PEOPLE
THAT LIES AHEAD. IF TRIBAL LEADERS AND THE INDIAN PEOPLE
WANT DEVELOPMENT TO TAKE PLACE.
ONE NEW CHAPTER NOW BEING WRITTEN WILL INCLUDE AN ESTIMATED
$52,560,000 IN FEDERAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF
LABOR FOR ADVANCE PLANNING FOR INDIAN TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT
PROGRAMS THROUGH CETA GRANTS TO PRIME SPONSORING TRIBES IN 1977.
11
IT WILL BE MOST IMPORTANT FOR EACH OF YOU, AS
PLANNERS, TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE BASIC RESPONSIBILITY
FOR ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ON THE
RESERVATION, AND IN INDIAN AREAS BELONGS TO THE TRIBAL
LEADERS.
YOUR IMPORTANCE AS PROFESSIONAL PLANNERS LIES IN THE
SERVICE YOU CAN RENDER TO THE TRIBAL LEADERSHIP IN
PROVIDING THE MECHANISMS FOR IMPLEMENTING THEIR
ASPIRATIONS AND GOALS INTO REALISTIC PROGRAMS FOR
DEVELOPMENT:
THE CHALLENGES FACING MOST TRIBES ARE TOUGH; AND
WILL CALL FOR THE STRONGEST TYPES OF PLANNING AND
ACTION PROGRAMS, IF YOU TRULY HELP THEM BRING INTO
REALITY THEIR ASPIRATIONS AND GOALS TO:
1. ERADICATE THE POVERTY THAT HAS HELD THE
INDIAN BACK.
12
2. TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE INDIAN PEOPLE.
3. TO PROVIDE DECENT HOUSING FOR ALL WHO WANT
AND NEED DECENT HOUSING;
4. TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR VOCATIONAL
TRAINING AND GENERAL EDUCATION FOR ALL WHO
DESIRE IT, AND
5. TO CREATE JOB OPPORTUNITIES WHERE LITTLE
OPPORTUNITY NOW EXISTS.
CONCLUSION
WE HAVE FUNDED THE UNITED INDIAN PLANNERS
ASSOCIATION TO PROVIDE A REALISTIC TRAINING PROGRAM
FOR INDIAN PLANNERS. IT IS OUR HOPE THAT ITS SUCCESS
WILL JUSTIFY MANY MORE TRAINING SESSIONS TO COME.
WE TRUST THAT THIS SEMINAR HAS STRENGTHENED EACH
OF YOU PERSONALLY, AND HAS STRENGTHENED THE UNITED
INDIAN PLANNERS ASSOCIATION GENERALLY IN FACING THE
13
EVER-INCREASING CHALLENGE OF YOUR DIFFICULT PLANNING
ROLE, AND THAT THE SKILL AND THE KNOWLEDGE, THE JUDGEMENT
AND THE LEADERSHIP EACH OF YOU DEVELOP WILL PROVE TO BE
NOT ONLY AN ASSET TO YOU AND YOUR TRIBE BUT AN
INSPIRATION TO ALL OF THOSE WHO WILL BE WORKING WITH
YOU TO BUILD MORE LIVEABLE COMMUNITIES BY CREATING NEW
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE INDIAN PEOPLE OF YOUR
RESERVATION AND YOUR STATE.

Ebona\nExecutive Director\n202/466-8212\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nAugust 15, 1976\nI send warmest greetings to the delegates at the First Annual\nConference of the United Indian Planners Association.\nOne hundred and seventy years ago, President Jefferson said,\n\"The proper role of the Federal Government is to help Indians\nfind their way along a new trail -- one which leads to equal\ncitizenship, maximum self-sufficiency and full participation\nin American life. \"\nA year and a half ago, the Congress in enacting the Indian Self-\nDetermination Act reaffirmed the continuing commitment of\nour government to this task by stating, \"The Congress hereby\nrecognizes the obligation of the United States to respond to the\nstrong expression of the Indian people for self-determination\nby assuring maximum Indian participation in the direction of\neducational as well as other Federal services to Indian com-\nmunities so as to render such services more responsive to the\nneeds and desires of those communities.\"\nIn signing this Act, I added that it will be through the initiatives\nof Indian communities that the authorities provided for will be\nimplemented. I urged these communities to make the fullest\npossible use of these authorities, and I pledged the support of\nmy Administration to this end.\nIndian people know more than most Americans that promises\nand policies by themselves are not enough. But thanks to the\nintelligent and persistent efforts of many individuals and organ-\nizations such as your own, these policies are finally coming to\nfruition.\nBy working together, I am confident that we can forge a brighter\nfuture for American Indian people.\nGerold R. Ford\nCHALLENGES FACING THE INDIAN PLANNER\nSPOKANE, WASHINGTON\nAUGUST 17, 1976\nJOSEPH G. HAMRICK\nDEPUTY ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR\nPLANNING\nECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION\nFORD is LIBRA 07835\nFEW GROUPS IN AMERICA HAVE PROVIDED AS RICH A\nCULTURAL HERITAGE TO THE NATION AS THE AMERICAN INDIAN\nHAS. YOUR DEEDS OF HEROISM AND SACRIFICE ARE LEGEND;\nYOUR ART HAS BROUGHT BEAUTY TO MEN AND WOMEN EVERYWHERE,\nAND YOUR DESIGNS HAVE INFLUENCED BUILDINGS THROUGHOUT THE\nWORLD. YOUR SENSE OF HARMONY WITH NATURE HAS POINTED THE\nWAY TO AN ENHANCED ENVIRONMENT.\nDESPITE INJUSTICES SUFFERED BY MANY IN THE PAST THE\nINDIAN PEOPLE HAVE SHOWN A LOYALTY TO THE NATION IN TIME\nOF WAR UNSURPASSED. YOUR INDIAN LANGUAGE CODE HELPED THE\nCOUNTRY DEFEAT JAPAN IN THE PACIFIC, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN\nHAVE FOUGHT BRAVELY WITH EVERY BRANCH OF THE ARMED SERVICES\n2\nWHENEVER THE NATION CALLED.\nREGARDLESS OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION AND YOUR SACRIFICES\nMANY INDIAN PEOPLE CONTINUE TO FACE DIFFICULT ECONOMIC\nTIMES, HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT AND UNDUE HARDSHIP.\nTHIS NATIONAL CONTRADICTION OF THE RICHNESS OF THE\nINDIAN CULTURE COUPLED WITH THE IMPOVERISHMENT OF MANY\nOF THE INDIAN PEOPLE MAKES THE CHALLENGE FACING THE\nINDIAN PLANNER ONE OF THE GREATEST CHALLENGES IN THE\nFIELD OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT.\nFORD LIBRA, GIVE\nAS PLANNERS YOU ARE FACED WITH THE GIGANTIC PROBLEMS\nOF: HOW TO BUILD A SOUND ECONOMIC PROGRAM FOR INDIAN\nPEOPLE WITH THE LIMITED RESOURCES ON MOST RESERVATIONS.\nHOW TO CREATE JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIAN PEOPLE\nWITHOUT DESTROYING INDIAN AND TRIBAL CULTURAL VALUES.\nHOW TO MOBILIZE RESOURCES FROM OUTSIDE THE RESERVATION\n3\nTO ASSIST IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND JOB CREATION\nWITHOUT ABROGATING THE RIGHT OF INDIAN PEOPLE TO\nDECIDE THEIR OWN COURSE OF ACTION AND DEVELOP THEIR\nOWN OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM BASED UPON\nTHE DECISIONS OF THE INDIAN COMMUNITY.\nYOU, AS PROFESSIONAL PLANNERS FOR THE INDIAN\nPEOPLE, HOLD THE KEY TO ANY REAL SOLUTION TO THE\nECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROBLEMS FACING INDIAN PEOPLE.\nYOUR ABILITY TO MARSHALL THE SUPPORT OF THE\nTRIBAL COUNCIL AND THE MEMBERS OF THE INDIAN COMMUNITY\nWILL BE NECESSARY BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN BEGIN TO PROJECT\nGOALS.\nYOUR ABILITY AND SKILL TO PLAN AND IMPLEMENT JOB-CREATING\nOPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF INDIAN AND TRIBAL\nCULTURAL VALUES WILL BE VITAL TO ANY SUCCESS,\n4\nYOUR ABILITY TO APPRAISE THE NATURAL RESOURCE\nPOTENTIALS OF THE RESERVATION, AND TO KNOW WHICH\nOF THESE RESOURCES THE INDIAN PEOPLE OF THE TRIBE\nWISH TO PROTECT, IMPROVE AND DEVELOP WILL ALSO\nBE FUNDAMENTAL.\nYOUR PLANNING SKILL IN ASSISTING THE TRIBAL COUNCIL\nCHART A COURSE OF RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT THAT ENHANCES\nTHE TRADITIONAL RELATIONSHIP OF THE TRIBE TO ITS\nLAND, WHILE BRINGING THE GREATEST POSSIBLE ECONOMIC\nRETURN TO THE INDIAN PEOPLE WILL BE NECESSARY.\nYOUR PUBLIC RELATIONS UNDERSTANDING AND KNOW-HOW IN\nINSURING BROAD COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN THE PLANNING\nPROCESS WILL ALSO BE IMPORTANT TO ANY SUCCESSFUL\nDEVELOPMENT.\n5\nYOUR SKILL AS A PLANNER AND AS A COOPERATOR IN MARSHALLING\nTHE RESOURCES OUTSIDE THE RESERVATION WHICH CAN BE BROUGHT\nTO BEAR ON RESERVATION PROBLEMS WILL PERHAPS BE THE\nGREATEST TEST OF YOUR PLANNING PROFESSIONALISM.\nOUTSIDE THE RESERVATION, SOMETIMES ALIENATED, AND\nOFTEN, AT BEST, NOT COMMUNICATING TOO WELL WITH TRIBAL\nLEADERS IS THE SUB-STATE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT AGENCY\nWHICH OFTEN WOULD LIKE TO ASSIST IN SOLVING MUTUAL\nPROBLEMS WITH THE TRIBAL LEADERS IF INVITED TO DO SO.\nBEYOND THE DISTRICT LEVEL IS THE STATE, WHOSE GOVERNOR,\nNOW FORTIFIED WITH THE RECENTLY ESTABLISHED 302(A) STATE\nPLANNING PROCESS GRANTS FROM EDA, IS ANXIOUS TO EXTEND\nGREATER STATE ASSISTANCE TO DISTRICTS AND INDIAN PLANNERS\nAND HAVE IN RETURN THE IMPUT OF INDIAN AND DISTRICT\nPLANNING AREAS INTO OVERALL STATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT\nPLANS.\n6\nMOST STATES NOW CAN AND WILL PROVIDE INDIAN\nPLANNERS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER ASSISTANCE\nWITHOUT USURPING THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT PREROGATIVES\nTHAT BELONG TO THE INDIAN PEOPLE, AND ONE TEST OF A\nSKILLFUL INDIAN PLANNER WILL BE HIS ABILITY TO SECURE\nSUCH ASSISTANCE.\nBEYOND THE STATE LEVEL AND ANXIOUS TO ASSIST\nSINCE THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS ON\nRESERVATIONS IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE BROAD OVERALL PLANNING\nBEING DONE FOR THE REGION ARE THE REGIONAL COMMISSIONS,\nSUCH AS THE FOUR CORNERS REGIONAL COMMISSION. THESE\nORGANIZATIONS ARE STRUCTURED TO ENCOURAGE INTERAGENCY\nCOORDINATION OF PLANNING ACTIVITIES WITHIN AND AMONG\nSTATE AND LOCAL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT AND THE RESERVATIONS\nIN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN LOCAL ECONOMIES, CREATE NEW\n7\nOPPORTUNITIES FOR EMPLOYMENT AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY\nOF LIFE.\nTHE SKILLED INDIAN PLANNER WILL UNDERSTAND THE\nINTER-DEPENDENCY OF REGIONAL AND STATE DEVELOPMENT\nRIGHT DOWN TO THE AREA AND RESERVATION DEVELOPMENT\nPROGRAMS. HE WILL, THEREFORE, WORK CLOSELY WITH THE\nAPPROPRIATE OFFICERS OF THE REGIONAL COMMISSIONS, AND\nSTATE STAFFS IN ORDER TO REINFORCE HIS OWN PLANNING\nEFFORT FOR THE RESERVATION AND BRING OUTSIDE RESOURCES\nINTO THE RESERVATION'S ECONOMY.\nIN SOME AREAS COOPERATION WILL BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE\nOF YEARS OF POOR COMMUNICATION BUT IN MOST STATES AND\nTHROUGHOUT MOST REGIONAL COMMISSIONS, AND ON MOST\nRESERVATIONS ENLIGHTENED LEADERSHIP AND UNDERSTANDING\n8\nWILL HELP OPEN DOORS FOR THE INDIAN PEOPLE BY BRINGING\nABOUT MEANINGFUL COOPERATION AND JOINT EFFORT IN THE\nFIELD OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, FROM WHICH ALL WILL\nBENEFIT.\nA HISTORY OF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ACHIEVEMENT IS\nBEING WRITTEN TODAY BY INDIAN PEOPLE AND INDIAN PLANNERS\nTHROUGH WISE UTILIZATION OF THE PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES\nAVAILABLE TO THEM. AMONG THESE ACHIEVEMENTS ARE SUCH\nOUTSTANDING PROGRAMS AS:\n1. THE AMERICAN INDIAN NATIONAL BANK\nA COOPERATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN AMERICAN INDIAN\nLEADERS AND SEVERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO PROVIDE FUNDS\nFOR FINANCING INDIAN DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.\n2. AMERICAN INDIAN CATTLEMEN'S CONSORTIUM\nIN 1976 EDA PROVIDED A $3,000,000 GRANT TO A\nCONSORTIUM OF 15 INDIAN TRIBES IN MONTANA, NORTH DAKOTA AND\nSOUTH DAKOTA TO ESTABLISH A LONG-TERM, LOW-INTEREST LOAN\n9\nPROGRAM FOR INDIAN CATTLEMEN TO HELP RESTORE HERDS DESTORYED\nBY LATE SPRING STORMS.\n3.

ERADICATE THE POVERTY THAT HAS HELD THE\nINDIAN BACK.\n12\n2. TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE INDIAN PEOPLE.\n3. TO PROVIDE DECENT HOUSING FOR ALL WHO WANT\nAND NEED DECENT HOUSING;\n4. TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR VOCATIONAL\nTRAINING AND GENERAL EDUCATION FOR ALL WHO\nDESIRE IT, AND\n5.
