APL:mr Nate Packer - 505-842-1892 Dechied phone 9-15-16 NIEA low loceducate Caro Bureau 401 Ind ST all NM 87102 July 9. 1976 FORD is LIBRARY 9ERALD The President The White House Washington, DC 20500 Mr. President: The purpose of this letter is to invite you to appear at the 8th Annual Conference of the National Indian Education Association in Albuquerque, New Mexico, September 27-30, 1976. Specifically, we would like you to address the general assembly during the conference as your schedule will permit. NIFA is the only organization which exists for the singular purpose of upgrading educational opportunities for Native Americans. Membership is comprised of Indian educators across the nation and other persons con- cerned with the education of American Indians. PL We anticipate a conference of between 5000 and 6000 persons. including Indian educators and Indian leaders from virtually every Indian comunity in the country. The first national conference of Indian educators took place in Minneapolis in 1969. Senitor Mondale addressed that initial conference. Since that time, NIFA has worked for upgrading educational opportunities for Indian people. Because local conditions affecting educational opportunity for Indian people vary greatly, it is difficult to identify a complete list of issues confronting education of Indian people. Nonetheless. local issues usually involvedthe following: 1) Attempts by local Indian people to sensitize local boards of edu- cation. administrators and teachers to recognize the unique dimen- sions of Native Americans heritage and culture. and incorporate such into curriculum and instruction in local schools. 2) Election of Indian people to local boards of education in communities which serve a significant number of Indian people. 3) Curriculum concerns go well beyond having a few hours of instruc- tion in "Indian beadwork or crafts!" Page 2. The President 7-9-76 4) Attempts to generate responsive mechanism within state departments of education to assist local people with issues regarding education of Indian children. Issues which continue to prevail regarding educational opportunities for Indian people across the nation include: 1) Drop-out or push-out rate among Indian people vastly exceeds the population generally. 2) The financial support for Indian education shows serious discreo- ancy from state to state. State education agencies have been negligent in providing full financial support for education of C Indian people because of inequities in federal assistance. (Cite BIA schools with vastly different per pupil cost ratios). Clearly, it is not possible to thoroughly outline issues confronting Indian people generally, and Indian education specifically in a short letter. I have attempted to indicate some priority topics in this letter. I will be pleased to come to your office to meet with you and discuss these issues in greater detail, and provide documentation material as well. Indian people are very politically active and sensitive. This is due to the unique position which Indian people hold in this nation. Indian people, by constitutional rights, affirmed by courts and legislation. are political entities. Indian people accordingly. are extremely interested in government and the persons elected to office. We understand there will be copius demands on you during the upcoming months. We sincerely hope you will be able to include an appearance at the NITA conference on your rigorous schedule. Be assured we will assist in any way we can to facilitate your appearance. I will look forward to further conversation with you on this topic. We thank you for your consideration to our request. Sincerely yours, Andrew P. Lawson, Executive Director APL:mr THE WHITE HOUSE file WASHINGTON August 13, 1976 Dear Mr. Lawson: This is to acknowledge and thank you for your letter of July 9 inviting the President to attend the 8th Annual Conference of the National Indian Education Association in Albuquerque, New Mexico on September 27-30, 1976. While the President greatly appreciates your thoughtfulness in extending this kind invi- tation, he will not be able to come to Albuquerque in view of the heavy demands of the late September schedule.

FORD LIBRARY & CERALD Thank you Bead September 13, 1976 -DRAFT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL INDIAN EDUCATION ASSOCIATION It is a pleasure to send greetings and congratulations to you on the occasion of your Eighth Annual Convention. I want you to know how strongly I reaffirm the Congressional findings and Declaration of Policy embodied in the Indian Self- Determination and Education Assistance Act which I signed twenty months ago. At that time I predicted that "the enactment of this legislation marks a milestone for Indian people. It will enable this Admin- istration to work more closely and effectively with the tribes for the betterment of all the Indian people by assisting them in meeting goals they themselves have set. " These predictions are being fulfilled. Contracting under this new statute is going forward. Funds under the companion ed- ucation programs of the National Indian Education Act have now reached some 1200 districts and 235 grantees. What particularly pleases me is that these monies will enhance the input and influence which Indian parents themselves will have concerning the education of their children. & FORD LIBRARY -2- The kind of progress being made in the 70's toward establishing a firm base from which to build quality education programs for Indian children will not go unnoticed. As educators, parents, and laymen actively participating in the progress of educating Indian children, you are to be commended for your energy and success in the past few years. We have joined you in this effort. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has established new advisory school boards as a first step in providing Indian communities the opportunity to actively participate in the business of running schools. Title IV of the Indian Education Act of 1972 has given many tribes a first real chance locally to design and carry out educational programs for their children. In addition Title IV has opened the door to meaningful interaction with public schools. I am pleased, as you are, that the keynoter for your Convention is Mr. William G. Demmert, Jr., Director of the Office of Indian Education Programs; Mr. Demmert personifies the high quality of senior Indian federal officers in whose hands our new Indian education programs are entrusted. For the First Americans the long past has often been stained and shameful. But with your help and that of our Federal Government in the past few years, a corner has been dramatically turned. For Indian children, as for all children in the luminous mosiac of our nation, the future is full of new freedom and new opportunity. My best wishes for a successful meeting. Gerald R.

Ford THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 17 Bill - If you are the senior Administration attendee at the Conference, you should read this aloud aa the beginning of your remarks. We have also sent it, with a photo, directly to Albuquerque in order to get it printed in the program. I hope we made the deadline, but you should read it anyway. The original should eventually QUIALO FORD LIGHTER get into Andy Hawson S hands for their archives. I won't be going and have informed Andy. Good luck! PS: Give me a call Bad later on how the Comferement September 15, 1976 The Eighth Annual Convention of the National Indian Education Association gives me a welcome opportunity to reaffirm my support for the Congressional Findings and Declaration of Policy embodied in the Indian Self- Determination and Education Assistance Act which I signed twenty months ago. At that time I stated that the enactment of this leg- islation will mark a milestone for Indian people. It will enable my Administration to work more closely and effectively with the tribes to promote the well-being of all Indian people and to assist them in meeting the goals they have set. It is heartening to note that these predictions are being fulfilled. Contracting under this new statute is going forward. Funds under the companion education programs of the National Indian Education Act have now reached some 1200 districts and 235 grantees. It is especially gratifying that these monies will enhance the input and influence of Indian parents on the edu- cation of their children. The progress of the '70s toward establishing a firm base from which to build quality education programs for Indian children will not go unnoticed. As educa- tors, parents and laymen actively participating in this vital effort you are to be commended for your energy and success in the past few years. My Administration is solidly behind your endeavors. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has established new advisory school boards as a first step in providing Indian communities the opportunity to actively par- ticipate in the business of running schools. Title IV of the Indian Education Act of 1972 has given many tribes a first real chance to design and carry out educational programs at the local level. It has also opened the door to meaningful interaction with public FORD & LIBRARY GERALD schools. 2 For the First Americans the past has often been stained and shameful. In the last few years your hard work and the cooperation of our Federal Govern- ment have been dramatically turning this tide. Today, the future for Indian children is full of newfound freedom, opportunity and self-fulfillment. I commit myself unequivocally to the kind of coordinated effort that will continue this trend in the years ahead.

Specifically, we would like you to\naddress the general assembly during the conference as your schedule will\npermit.\nNIFA is the only organization which exists for the singular purpose\nof upgrading educational opportunities for Native Americans. Membership\nis comprised of Indian educators across the nation and other persons con-\ncerned with the education of American Indians.\nPL\nWe anticipate a conference of between 5000 and 6000 persons. including\nIndian educators and Indian leaders from virtually every Indian comunity\nin the country.\nThe first national conference of Indian educators took place in\nMinneapolis in 1969. Senitor Mondale addressed that initial conference.\nSince that time, NIFA has worked for upgrading educational opportunities\nfor Indian people.\nBecause local conditions affecting educational opportunity for Indian\npeople vary greatly, it is difficult to identify a complete list of issues\nconfronting education of Indian people. Nonetheless. local issues usually\ninvolvedthe following:\n1) Attempts by local Indian people to sensitize local boards of edu-\ncation. administrators and teachers to recognize the unique dimen-\nsions of Native Americans heritage and culture. and incorporate\nsuch into curriculum and instruction in local schools.\n2) Election of Indian people to local boards of education in communities\nwhich serve a significant number of Indian people.\n3) Curriculum concerns go well beyond having a few hours of instruc-\ntion in \"Indian beadwork or crafts!\"\nPage 2. The President 7-9-76\n4) Attempts to generate responsive mechanism within state departments\nof education to assist local people with issues regarding education\nof Indian children.\nIssues which continue to prevail regarding educational opportunities\nfor Indian people across the nation include:\n1) Drop-out or push-out rate among Indian people vastly exceeds the\npopulation generally.\n2) The financial support for Indian education shows serious discreo-\nancy from state to state. State education agencies have been\nnegligent in providing full financial support for education of\nC\nIndian people because of inequities in federal assistance. (Cite\nBIA schools with vastly different per pupil cost ratios).\nClearly, it is not possible to thoroughly outline issues confronting\nIndian people generally, and Indian education specifically in a short letter.\nI have attempted to indicate some priority topics in this letter. I will be\npleased to come to your office to meet with you and discuss these issues in\ngreater detail, and provide documentation material as well.\nIndian people are very politically active and sensitive. This is due\nto the unique position which Indian people hold in this nation. Indian people,\nby constitutional rights, affirmed by courts and legislation. are political\nentities. Indian people accordingly. are extremely interested in government\nand the persons elected to office.\nWe understand there will be copius demands on you during the upcoming\nmonths. We sincerely hope you will be able to include an appearance at the\nNITA conference on your rigorous schedule. Be assured we will assist in any\nway we can to facilitate your appearance.\nI will look forward to further conversation with you on this topic.
