            A Resolution Supporting the Establishment of a 
              National Advisory Board on Indian Education 
                    to the Bureau of Indian Affairs  
     
     WHEREAS, the BIA administers a comprehensive program of 
              education services to the American Indian and 
              Alaska Native Tribes in areas of: elementary and 
              secondary education, preschool, adult education, 
              higher education, employment assistance, community 
              colleges, tribal contract and BIA schools, JOM and 
              Impact Aid assistance to public schools, with an

              Tribes, and  
     
     WHEREAS, the American Indian and Alaska Native Tribes have a 
              wide assortment of education organizations and 
              associations who serve limited and fractional 
              interests within the BIA education division, and  
     
     WHEREAS, a National Advisory Board on Indian Education to 
              the BIA would greatly serve the guidance and 
              consultation policy and goals which are the trust 
              responsibility of the BIA to the American Indian 
              and Alaska Native peoples,  
     
     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the NCAI calls upon the

                 guidance and recommendations on such issues.  
     
              2. Provide an annual report on proceedings, 
                 recommendations, and action in BIA/OIEP which 
                 shall be provided to the President, U.S. 
                 Congress, BIA, and federally recognized tribes.  
     
              3. The operational budget for the Board shall be 
                 added to the BIA budget as an additional line 
                 item and not taken from education programs 
                 already in existence,  


     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the BIA report back to NCAI at
