Education conference set
Opposition to the closing of
Indian schools will be one of
the main actions expected at
the upcom ing F o u rteen th
Annual Convention of the
N ational Indian Education
Association (NIEA).
The meeting, to be held at the
Hyatt Regency Hotel in New
Orleans November 20-23, is
expected to put the organiza
tion squarely on record as
opposed to the school closing.
The organization has issued
a special call for early pre
registration for the convention
because of the urgency of this
and several other key issues.
Art Hill, President of the
2,000 member organization,
states that he expects the
altern ativ e to the school
closings will be fo r the
government to allow tribes to
operate the schools under
contract. He has advocated in
Congressional testimony and
elsewhere that the schools be
kept open in accordance with
treaty provisions.
The Reagan administration
has stated its opposition to
having Indian education a trust
responsibility. This issue and
others will be addressed at the
convention by Ken Smith,
Assistant Secretary of the
Interior for Indian Affairs.
S m ith, the top federal
official in Indian affairs will be
one of the key speakers at the
convention, which is expected
to attract upwards of 5,000
people from all across the
nation. Other speakers include
D r. F ra n k R y an , ch ie f
e x e c u tiv e o f th e In d ia n
Education Program in the
Department of Education, and
Philip Martin, President of the
National Tribal Chairmen’s
Association (NTCA).
The closing of Indian schools
w ill be one o f several
controversial items on the
meeting agenda. Others include
the proposed transfer of the
Indian Education Program to
the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
whether Indian education is a
trust responsibility of the
federal government, the effect
on Indians of the proposed
block grants in education to the
States, and the concern over
budget cuts, which have
already affected many Indian
programs.
Because of the importance of
the issues, Mr. Hill says, the
Indian people of the nation,
and edu cato rs of Indian
children, are expected to attend
the convention in force.

Kids stag e pow w ow St Pat’s Cowdeo
On October I the Warm
Springs Elementary school
held their first school assembly.
This was to recognize their
outstanding students for the
month from each grade level.
This was the first assembly
since school started this year
and afterward parents and
friends were invited to the
school for a powwow. The
purpose of the powwow was to
get the elders of the tribe to
come and help teach some of
the old traditional ways to the
children—traditional songs,
d a n c e s and m e th o d s of
carrying out the old ways of
the past.
There was a very good turn
out of parents and friends as
they joined in the powwow
along with the kids. All the
dances and songs will be
helpful to the cultural studies
for the children, the school staff
believes.
Last springs at the end of the
school year a similar powwow
was presented by the students.
That was such a success tha it
was suggested a powwow at the
beginning of the year could be
of great help.
There was the traditional
men’s war dance put on by the
boys and girls traditional
dance. The kids even put out
some fancy dancing for the
parents and spectators. The
faculty also joined in with the
kids since this was a powwow
for all.

ages 5 thru 14, will be held at
