- Description:
- The National Tribal Chairmen's Association condemns the illegal occupation and destruction of the Bureau of Indian Affairs building by dissident groups. They call for the rebuilding of the building, prosecution of those responsible, and reject negotiations with illegitimate groups. They demand the return of stolen records and protection of tribal records in the future. They also request a Congressional investigation into the incident and emphasize that reservation Indians should not be penalized for the actions of urban dissident groups.
