Navajo Indian Irrigation Project
Under Study By Bureau Of Reclamation

With the establishment of a Pro-
ject Office in Pennington, New
Mexico. by the us. Bureau of
Reclamation on February 4, 1868,
plans for construction of the Navajo
Indian Irrigation Project are pro-
ceedlng as sche duled. The
ar.mingto on office has respon-
slbllity for planning and construc-
tion of the project works.
MIR. Bert Levine has been ap-
pointed as Acting Project Con-
struction Engineer in charge of the
office. Mr.. Levine transferred to
Harrington from Clint on, Okla
homa where he was Project Con-
struction Engineer in charge of
construction of the Washita Basin
Project for the Bureau of Recla-
nation. Mr.. w. Wat son Ketchen has
been appointed Field Engineer. MIR.
Ketchen recently returned from
Australia, where he was engineer
ing advisor to the personnel on
the Snowy Mountain Project, being
constructed by the Australian
Government. Mr.. E. Lundberg will
be Office Engineer, ,and Mr.. George
Harvey, Administrative Officer.
Both Mr.. Lundberg and Mr.. Har-
vey we're employed on the
construction of Navajo Dam. In
Navajo times., 1963-03-14

addition, approximately forty
employees of the Navajo Dam Pro-
ject have been transferred to the
Navajo Indian Irrigation Project.
The project will utilize waters
from Navajo Dam for irrigation
of lands by the Navajo Indians.
The Bureau of Reclamation is
acting as the construction agency
for the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
who will operate the project after
completion of the construction.
The development is expected to
provide farms for 1.12O Navajo
families, and give a livelihood
in related service activities to
another 2,24O families.
Total estimated cost of the
project is $135, 100000, with COM
pletion of the project scheduled
for IA years, resulting in an annual
expenditure of $1O,OOO,OOO. 1t is
estimated that construction of the
project can be expected to require
about 500 persons annually for on
Site work and to require another
$50 persons annually for work in
other areas throughout the country
in providing the necessary ser
vices, materials and equipment.

Drop Out Rate On Indian
Students Still Big Problem

The failure to distinguish be-
tween m enta and scholarship
retardation of Indian children is
one of three crucial problems fac
ing those who educate Indian youth,
a speaker told his audience at Fort
Lewis AGM College Education
Conference.
The spe aker was Wayne T.
Pratt, assistant chief inthe educa-
tion branch of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs at Washington. D. G. Pratt
was the keynote speaker at the Sixth
Annual Conference on Navajo Edu-
cation The conference closed
Thur sday afternoon
Pratt listed the other two basic
problems as: Difficulty of motivat-
ing Indian youngsters and the
resulting high drop-out rate at
schools and cultural differences
between Indian and nom Indian
which result in a lack of under
standing.
Said Pratt: "Of course our In
dian students are scholastically
retarded (academically behind
non-hdians of the same age) but
this is quite different from being
mentally retarded.
He referred to four service
wide surveys made by the Bureau
of Indian Affairs which showed how
far behind. academically, Indian
students were, but also what real
strides have been made in recent
Navajo times., 1963-03-14
Museum Re-0pened

The Museum of Northern Ari-
zona, Flagstaff. re-opened March
1 for the 1868 season and DIR.
Edward B. Danson, director, anti
cipated new high in visitor atten-
dance. During 1862 the number of
visitors totalled over $1,000.
Now on view is a permanent
exhibit of Hopi Kachina dolls
selected from the museums large
collection. Barton A. Wright, mu-
scum curator. designed the layout
and completed installation during
the winter months. Visitor during
March can also see the linguistics
exhibit titled "The Ways of
Words" held over temporarily
from its fall showing. The display
of-the-month features copper ore
samples from Jerome.
Special exhibits this year are
scheduled as follows: April 20

years.
Pratt said that a 1928 survey
showed that 90 per cent of all In
dian children were "scholastically
retarded" A 1916 survey showed
that 62 per cent we're still behind
their white friends, so far astheir
a bility to do school work. Later
surveys continuedto show 'unmis-
taxable progress" but indicate that
the Indian youth still has difficulty
keeping up with non-Indians of like
age. Said Pratt: eve have tre-
mendous problem, still, of schol-
astic retardation, despite the really
great progress that ha S been
made"
Commenting on the difficulty of
motivating Indian youth to seek an
education, the speaker commented
that Indian children don't cometo
get an education in the same pro-
portion as the rest of the popula-
tion." Their school drop-out rate,
he said, is at least so per cent high
er than for the rest of the popula-
tion.
But, cautioned Pratt: "a boy or
girl doesn't just drop out of school
today on the spur of the moment.
1t takes months and even years of
building up the wrong relationship
between the student and the school,
before the Indian child disappears
from the school to show up back
with his parents"

of another 1900 persons annually
will be employed as a result of the
increased demand by on-and off
site workers for such items as
clothes. food, furniture. gasoline.
and other consumer goods.
Within the next thirty days, work
will be initiated in the field to
determine location of the facilities.
which include canals, laterals, tun-
nels, siphons, and pumping plants.
These facilities will be constructed
to permit an annual diversion of
sos, 600 acre feet of water from the
Bureau of Reclamation Navajo Dam
Reservoir for delivery to project
lands. Work will also start in the
near future to classify the soils
and determine which lands are
suitable for irrigation. A majority
of 11O,63O acres planned for irri-
cation will be located within the
Navajo Indian Reservation. Other
lands will be located east of the
reservation line and south of the
San Juan River.
The first construction work
planned is a two-mile tunnel and
intake structures from Navajo
Reservoir to Gobernador Canyon.
1t is planned to start this work
in calendar year 1864.
The Washington, D. c., special
lSt in Indian education noted the
great difficulties that arise in
education because of cultural diff
ferences between Indians and
whites. He referred specifically
to poor relationships that exist
between Indian and non-Indian on
the edges of the reservation. Said
Pratt: I'VE usually find that those
who live nearest the reservation
have the least understanding of the
Indian"
He noted specific cultural diff
ferences: "Indian people don't like
TO give advice; we love to give ad-
vice. Those of us who live in
white culture seem to have a guilt
complex; the Indian does not have
the same deep sense of guilt. We
whites are status -oriented: reser-
walton children seem to have no
special interest in status.
Thus. Pratt noted that teachers
of Indian youth must know some of
the rmarks of a cooperative
Qndian) society, compared to that
OF competitive society. He urged,
too, that those in Indian education
make real effort to involve the
parents in the child's education
program. Declared Pratt: eff you
want to improve Indian education
tomorrow--involve the parents in
the program today"
