The needs of American Indian education are many and complex. Basic education needs to be expanded into areas such as gifted and talented, computer education, handicapped education, more diverse vocational programs, adult education, and directed research/dissemination. Efforts should be made to accredit Indian Studies programs, establish a "culturally sensitive site" for education of Indian scholars, and develop programs to maintain the languages and cultures of the tribal people. Federally funded Indian education programs need to move toward service programs rather than pilot projects. There is a need to better coordinate tribal, local, state, and federal funds to meet educational needs. Any future legislation must reiterate the responsibility of the federal government to the Indians. (CMJ)
