Oklahoma's Commitment to Indigenous Education and the Implications of Proposed Legislation1948-01-01Albert, Carl Bert, 1908-2000http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_001_4_2_12_0026Oklahoma has provided educational opportunities for all citizens, including Indians, through various treaties and Acts of Congress. The Federal Government has assisted in the education of Indians through different types of schools and financial aid. The enactment of a bill may result in reduced expenditures, except for aid to mission schools. There is concern about the burden placed on taxpayers in districts with tax-exempt Indian lands, as they do not contribute to school funding. The Committee writing the bill may not have considered this issue.
