Annual Report of the Michigan Commission on Indian Affairs, 1975.
Lufkins, John; And Others
During 1975, the Commission continued work on projects begun in 1974 and developed projects in the areas of legal services, housing, education, legislation, manpower, and program procurement. Due to the lack of State funds available, the Commission was unable to accomplish many of the goals it had set in its projects. However, some of its accomplishments which should help the Indian community to deal with problems at the local level were: (1) the development of the Michigan Indian Legal Service Corporation which will provide legal services to Indians in the State; (2) the utilization of Indian groups and organizations in the development of manpower programs; (3) the development of a proposal which was granted $150,000 to repair Indian homes in the Peshawbestown area; (4) the development of a program which operates 25 Indian community workers in 25 counties throuhgout the State; and (5) the continuation of developing and expanding Indian units within departments of State governments. Programs and legislation were less than helpful due to the reduced level of expenditures in both Federal and State programs. Appendices include: a directory of Michigan Indian groups and organizations, and a summary of the key findings of a 1971 study of the socioeconomic status of Michigan Indians. (NQ)
