IMPORTANCE OF INDIAN EDUCATION BROUGHT
OUT AT HOUSE subcommittee HEARINGS
By CONG. LEE METCALF
BY CONG. LEE METCALF

The Indian Affairs subcommittee
of which | am member, has been
holding hearings throughout the west.
Under Chairman James A. Haley
(D-Fla.) the committee has heard
testimony from Indian leaders and
their non-Indian neighbors on Indian
land ownership, tribal government,
education, welfare, law and order,
and related problems.
The hearings have emphasized
the Importance of education and
draining of the Indians to take their
place in the present world in which
they live. At the same time many wit
nesses stressed the Importance of the
perpetuation of the tribal Indian cul-
ture as necessary to preserve unique
and precious part of American life.
For the first time in the history of
dren have an opportunity to attend
school. In Montana under the add
ministration of Mr.. Knute w. Ber-
gan, Director of Indian Education,
equal opportunities for our Indian
children have been in existence for
a number of years. But on the Navajo
reservation, for instance, prior to this
year there were not the buildings to
house the children or the teachers
to teach them.
But merely giving Indian children
an equality of opportunity is insuffi-
cient. Many Indians are unable to
speak English and are unframed in
any of the skills necessary to enable
them to secure permanent employ
ment. Hence they work during the

early spring and summer and autumn
at transient jobs. Whole families
move onto these jobs and the chill
dren accompany their parents. In the
| Southwest at this season most of the
| Indian families are away from the
reservation picking cotton; here in
| Montana they are helping with the
harvest. AS a result the children don't
get enrolled in school for three or
four weeks after school starts.
In every state our committee
visited it was impressed upon us
that Indian boys and girls were not
going on to high school and college
so that the tribes were not develop
ing the necessary leadership to en-
able them to compete in the world
of today.
In addition TO the need for more
and more education there are other
needs. Everywhere the Indians are in
substandard housing. Chairman Haley
said that although the South had been
criticized for living conditions of the
Negroes, the Negroes in the South
were better housed than the Indians
on Hill 81 in Great Falls. The Papago
Indian villages in Arizona were just
as bad. Nor is Hill 81 an isolated in
stance in Montana. The conditions of
the Indians on the city dump at Havre
and Helena are deplorable.
The plight of the landless Indians
who have never been granted land
and tribal recognition is the worst.
These Indians are ilhterate, cannot
speak English, and cannot read or
write in either tongue. Such Indians
in recognized TRIBES on reservations
do receive aid from the tribal gov
eminent and from the federal grants
but many of these landless Indians
who are in greater need have no place
to turn for assistance.
One heartening thing that de-
veloped from the hearings both in
the Southwest and in Montana was
the lack of discrimination against
the Indians as such. Prejudice and
discrimination is at the lowest point
in history. In Montana in most
schools Indians are accepted and
treated in the same manner as non
Indians. Segregation in Montana
schools is almost nonresident.
Discrimination in employment op-
has not been completely
wiped out, but here again prejudice
s being overcome by tolerance and
Indignation and absorption of the
American Indian is not an easy task.
Nor is it completely desirable one.

ents many and varied problems that
re not easy to solve, but our hear
ngs in the field have brought fresh
