RESOLUTION 81-19
SUPPORT OF ALL INDIAN PUEBLO COUNCIL
WHEREAS: The Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians strongly
advocate Indian Self-Determination and the right of tribal
governments to determine the educational goals and
opportunities for their membership; and
WHEREAS: The Pueblo Tribes of New Mexico in pursuit of self-
determination as the best possible educational opportunities
for their children are in desperate need for the utilization
of a BIA facility located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for the
education of their children; and
WHEREAS: The Pueblo Tribes have waged a two and one-half
year battle for the utilization of a facility which is
rightfully theirs and have received the support of NCAI,
NTCA and numerous tribes and national organizations; and
WHEREAS: The present programs located at the Santa Fe Indian
School Campus known as the Institute for American Indian Art
cannot justify and continue existence economically and due
to declining enrollment, the per pupil cost is in excess of
$16,000 per year and the growth under-utilization of the
facility (89 students presently which was built for 504
students, FY 81 figures); and
WHEREAS: The Institute for American Indian Art programs can
be relocated to another BIA facility located in Albuquerque,
New Mexico, known as the South western Indian Polytechnic
Institute (better known as SIPI) and such a move will not
adversely affect Indian Art and culture as perceived in IAIA
programs.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Affiliated Tribes of
Northwest Indians support the efforts of the All Indian
Pueblo Council to obtain total utilization of Santa Fe
Indian School for the education of their children at the
earliest possible date; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: that the Institute for American
Indian Art programs be relocated at the SIPI or at any other
post-secondary facility.
CERTIFICATION
The foregoing resolution has been adopted at the special
meeting of the Executive Council of the Affiliated Tribes of
Northwest Indians May 26, 1981 at the Sheraton Hotel,
Spokane, Washington.
