The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Cultural Studies Center organizes national and international resource materials; develops updated and accurate information on American Indian culture; and provides other corollary activities related to research, curriculum, and training support. The 7 objectives of the BIA field unit are designed to establish a specific center that serves resource and general education needs in the study of American Indians; provides support for curriculum development and teacher training; and develops newer and more accurate resource materials through the Institute of American Indian Arts. The Center maintains contact with national and international resource programs and Indian institutions. Materials are developed on a basis of need, through solicitations from tribal groups and informal information gathering. Major dissemination is provided through contract provisions made with tribes and individuals. The appendix presents an outline for proposals and a schematic description of the Cultural Studies Program and related projects. (KM)
