It is obvious that the National Congress of American Indians has Improved with age. In its 48 years, NCAI has fine-tuned their opera tions and become an active pro ponent for Indian tribes through out the country. However, in their desire to provide a comfortable place in which to conduct their annual convention, NCAI forgot the very people they arc in busi ness to serve. Warm Springs sent nearly 40 individuals to the convention, in cluding Tribal Council and com mittee members and other sup port staff. A conservative estimate shows that the Tribe spent over $25,000 on registration and air fare fees alone. Add to that an indeterminable sum for lodging and meals. (One night's lodging at the Hyatt, the site of the convention, was $93.50 plus a $75 deposit) Some Warm Springs delegates opted to move from the Hyatt to more reasonably priced accomodations. Warm Springs has long been at the forefront in dealing with Indian issues. The large delegation in San Francisco confirms the fact that the Tribe is concerned not only about issues directly affecting Warm Springs, but all Indian concerns. It's unfortunate that such a high price was paid to make sure their voice was heard in the Indian arena. Shame on you NCAI for selecting such an unreasonably expensive convention site. Get real. Money is tight. If your organization is truly committed to improving conditions for Indian tribes, then rethink your strategy. Get back to the basics. Perhaps Indian business should be conducted on Indian land (and not Palm Springs, either!) Convention attendees heard repeatedly during the week that a united front is the best way to confront problems in Indian country. Continued support of your organization should be contingent upon your efforts to provide a much more cost efficient way in which to conduct the very business that unites tribes. Open your ears and hear with common sense in your hearts. Tribes are in financial trouble. How can tribes justify spending thousands to attend a meeting if that expense can be equated with, and used for, an entire program or three jobs that serves their people. Again, shame on you!
