Lujan Introduces new Indian land trust status policy Education forum to begin Secretary of the Interior Manuel Lujan gave a preview of his pro posed new policy on granting trust status for off-reservation lands ac quired by Indian Tribes when he spoke to the Western Governor's Conference in July. Proposed as guidelines to be published in the Federal Register lor comment before being pub lished in final form, Lujan told the Governors meeting in Fargo, N.I), that many tribes are seeking to acquire land outside of their his toric reservations to improve their prospects for economic develop ment, and Interior has proposed a new policy to guide the acquisition process. "Recent concerns over re quests to place in trust a number of land acquisitions have provided the impetus to seek additional clar ification," he said. According to Lujan, proposed new acquisition rules will include the following: (I) an economic development plan submitted by the tribes, specifying how the land will be used; (2) a consultation process with local, city, county and state governments to resolve possible conflicts over zoning, taxation and other jurisdictional issues; and (3) a limitation that tribes may acquire trust land only in state where they already own trust land. "We have proposed additional guidelines relating to Indian trust acquisitions for gaming purposes. The new regulations would re quire tribes to explore economic alternatives to gaming, and a re quirement that any gaming estab lishment meet comparable local safety and health ordinances," Lujan said. "Assistant Secretary Indian Affairs Eddie Brown and I look forward to working with tribal governments and all of you as we consider these guidelines," Lujan told the Governors. "I'm certain these proposed regulations will strengthen the economic develop ment of Indian communities as we help pave the road to self-determination for all American Indians." Press reports out of Fargo said Lujan's announcement of the new policy proposal angered all the Governors in attendance because they fell "the Secretary (of I nterior) wanted the state Governor to de cide if Indian tribes can acquire off-reservation land for gaming purposes." The National Indian Gaming Act passed in 1988 already requires - that land taken in trust away from an existing reservation (strictly for gaming purposes) - the concurrence of the state's gover nor. 1 he Act does not require such concurrence if the land in question is contiguous to the boundaries of the existing reservation. Task force members working on the proposed rules told Indian News that the new proposals would not require the Governor's concurrence if trust status was re quested for land away from the reservation if it was to be used for purposes other than gaming. Lujan directed Interior officials to work on the guidelines because ol the many requests that have been made by Indian tribes to have olf-reservation land approved for federal trust status. A number of these requests involve land in or near large municipalities where tribes propose operating bingo or other gaming enterprises. Lujan also told the governors he expects the newly established Indian Gaming Commission head ed by Tony Hope to be "at full speed" by October.

There was a good turnout of well wishers of friends and relatives for the honored guests.

Education a priority Continued from page 2 pants in the fabric of our society as we move into the next century." Geiger notes that we must escal , ate our efforts to reach every child in need of bilingual education, and child nutrition must be expanded to service all children in need, he maintains. And these federal pro grams, according to Geiger, must be joined with state and local pro grams - and build in stong paren tal and community involvement. One item in the poll shows a strong sentiment that parents should be involved in the schools -but that most people believe the actual level of involvement is minimal. "On behalf of the more than two million NEA members nation wide," Geiger says, "I invite eve ryone - parents and non-parents alike - to visit their local schools during this back-to-school season. Our schools will improve the most with the involvement of all parts of our communities." The public continues to give higher marks to their own schools - the schools they know well -than to schools in general. The poll reports on several other public attitudes concerning school performance. Among them: About 50 percent think teach er salaries are too low, up from 33 percent in 1985. In fact, 70 percent think public school teachers should be paid at least $30,000 annually -- and one out of five thinks teach-ers should earn more than $50,000. Presently, state av erage salaries are as low as $2 1 ,300 and the national average is $31,304. Today's teacher has an average of 15 years in the class room. Most teachers have a mas ter's degree or a six-year certificate Seventy-nine percent of the respondents think higher salaries would improve school quality. An even larger number feel better working conditions would help schools improve. Eighty-five percent of white surveyed believe that, on the whole, blacks and other minority children have the same educational opportunities as whites. Non whites have a considerable differ ent view -38 percent see inequality of opportunity in education. These findings are included in PDK's 22nd Annual Poll of the Public's Attitudes Toward the Pub lic Schools. Copies of the poll are available at $ 1 0 for 25 copies from Gallup Poll, Phi Delta Kappa, P.O. Box 789, Bloomington, IN 47402-0789.
