00:00:01.140 - 00:00:29.560

watch. Okay. Okay. You better get everything out. You from the federal us to listen to see, Really What? The underlying problems that the Indians visualize here and see to what extent we can deal with them with the programs that we have. Basically, let's do it. The

00:00:29.570 - 00:00:50.960

Indians will tell us. But their needs are not on Alcatraz, which is not within our jurisdiction, but generally their concerns about their people. Usually, I suppose, in urban areas as distinguished from reservation areas. And we hope to create a dialogue and see if, perhaps among us

00:00:50.960 - 00:01:30.640

we can't do something to be of some help. What? Yeah. Mhm. What? Mhm. I asked why there they're already in there. Well, Frank, deliberately omitted because of your all. Okay, Come on. So it is program. What? You see? Okay. Programs in certain. We want to look

00:01:30.640 - 00:02:16.420

at those ways and then relate to all of a sudden, Was that No. Yeah, for you that time. Mm. Work? No. Where? Where? Yeah, Concerned. Thank you. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. What? What you think Indian people need based on this concept? Well, first we want higher education.

00:02:16.430 - 00:02:31.740

That is at the university and the state college level. We want our students trained so that they can return to their people and be of some use to them as the situation exists. Now, our brightest students are grabbed up by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and

00:02:31.740 - 00:02:47.460

indoctrinated into their propaganda, and we find that they are useless at the reservation level and uh, would be better than the health plan that exists now for the relocated Indians. As far as housing is concerned, any type of housing would be an improvement of what they're

00:02:47.460 - 00:03:03.960

given now. And as far as the free food stamps are concerned, the monies that are allocated for our relocated students out here are insufficient. The food is free. Food stamps would help bring up their nutritional level. And I think that this this isn't asking too much

00:03:04.440 - 00:03:21.860

because as the effective will come of this, there's so often we have task force comes through and federal officials, they come out. I really hope that something can come of it because we're tired of conferences, so I will withhold any comments on it. Mr. Liver, today

00:03:23.140 - 00:03:40.430

this well, I just hope something as far as the vocational training programs are concerned, they are very limited because the student has no choice whatsoever. The Bureau of Indian Affairs selects the program that they are to train under. And this is very dissatisfying to the student

00:03:40.430 - 00:03:57.150

because we find that the dropout level even increases under this program. Whereas those students that are able through loans and one to another are able to go into the vocational training programs. These students finish their programs because it is a subject of their own choosing quickly.

00:03:57.160 - 00:04:14.160

Can you sitting there grinning? Can you? Can you tell us why you've come to help a Tron? Basically, I know we all seriously. It would like to do something special for Indians. I think we all have recognized that are preoccupation with the black problem with the

00:04:14.170 - 00:05:02.790

brown problem. Perhaps the red problem may have been overlooked. Thank mm. Can. Right? Well, I've attended many, Many. It is an official most official. Yeah, and any of you other people tell me, sir What? Kim Robertson, Mr Rhyme. I am the current

00:05:02.800 - 00:05:27.180

chairman of the Regional Council, which is this group you see here? The regional council of the essentially social oriented federal agencies that have resources which are available or employment in our case for training in the case of HUD for housing in the case of HDW for

00:05:27.180 - 00:05:47.150

education help similar matters. Oyo also represented here. What do you have their programs that may well have an impact on Indian problems. And what are you going to look for today? We are hoping Do you have any? For instance, if the Indian people ask for your

00:05:47.150 - 00:06:02.720

help, What kind of help can you give them? Well, if if what they want is the kind of thing we are doing traditionally traditionally in the sense that we are already doing it as of this year, perhaps there could be an immediate response of some sort.

00:06:02.910 - 00:06:19.890

If they want something that we are unable to respond to, we will seek authority. If we think it's a viable concept, we will seek authority to see if we can get among our various national headquarters some kind of a coordinated response to it. And I think

00:06:19.890 - 00:06:39.450

that may result that sounds So you're saying that you're likely to be willing to do some fairly extraordinary footwork if your ass well, I would I would not describe it as footwork. Is there anybody else that can enlighten Ed, What are you doing? Not further. Not

00:06:39.460 - 00:07:19.560

better, sir. I meet you. W actually dumped you at this. Yeah, I think it's been said and safe. Yeah. Yeah. And what was I'm Francisco would generally What? Yeah, thanks. Five by you. Uh huh. Mhm. Last week, we did touch upon many of the things such

00:07:20.140 - 00:07:40.030

at the end of faces, one of them being the relocation program of the idea and its effect on the America. Uh, we have several people here that many people here who would stand on relocation program. I think it's their best qualified to talk about that. We

00:07:40.030 - 00:08:17.600

are. And tornadoes one first when we talk about it. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. What free food, stamp and medic. Or as far as the Indian center in San Francisco is concerned, how do you think the agencies can help you? Well, as far as hot is concerned, they

00:08:17.600 - 00:08:38.450

can help us in finding perhaps a ways and means of funding a new center. And also, there's the health, education and welfare. Uh, we have a number of ongoing programs that can be initiated. And, uh, if we do get a a center that can have training

00:08:38.450 - 00:08:53.980

facilities available. So there's a number of things that these federal agencies can help because we're primarily for intake referrals, somewhat like a halfway house. So the Indian center right now is, uh, has a number of ongoing programs that are really suffering because of the lack of

00:08:53.980 - 00:09:13.080

a center. And we have recreation facilities. We had, uh, Saturday night dances, about 2 to 3, 400 students that attended these dances. And primarily our organization is self supporting, the only funds we get us for our intake referral R E O C. Program, which is for

00:09:13.080 - 00:09:29.460

staffing. But these other agencies, I'm sure it can help us. As far as how did you feel about the program exists now? It's It's not a success, you know that your son How did you feel about the better? The better health plan? Of course I mean

00:09:29.460 - 00:09:59.130

anything. What? Well, what can you summarize? Government. What? Who are you? I'm required with audio. And what's the purpose of Oh, what are you all doing here? Robert pits
