00:00:01.740 - 00:00:38.700

okay? Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. Tell me. Tim I talked to said, Yeah, I guess you're getting everybody on the left. Mhm. Okay. They wanted us to speak to their occupation of the island, which we told them we were unable to do anything about, but that we are

00:00:38.700 - 00:00:58.450

seriously concerned about their problems. Is there anything that can be done by the O. E o Huh, H e w. Or the Labor Department for the Indians, either on or off of the rock? We offered to consider their problems and to the extent that the four

00:00:58.450 - 00:01:16.420

agencies represented do not have jurisdiction. That's true of Bureau of Indian Affairs matters. We would, in some way or other, relate these other agencies to the council activity in attempting to give them some kind of a response you mentioned earlier, there were a number of programs

00:01:16.420 - 00:01:40.150

within your jurisdiction that you might be able to work. Yes, Their concern, so far as the Manpower Administration programs are concerned, is that they want more of their own self selection, of which Indians do get considered for programs. They want a greater role in helping run

00:01:40.150 - 00:02:33.760

programs. They're concerned about continuing and improving the American studies program at San Francisco State. It's possible not no commitment at all, that A. T W may maybe in some way be able to help their Yeah, we do have manpower

00:02:33.760 - 00:02:58.010

training programs, which we found. We can write contracts with Indian tribes, as we have done in Arizona. They don't amount to a great deal in slots or money, but it's quite possible we can rearrange some of those training programs to provide manpower training opportunities. Now, we're

00:02:58.010 - 00:03:17.860

not sure that the Indians on Alcatraz are interested specifically, but it is a resource we think they should understand. And if they want it, then perhaps we can respond to it. When you talk about housing, we've got any number of types of programs which we hope

00:03:17.860 - 00:03:34.130

will be able to fit to meet some of the needs. But in addition to housing, we also have a program which deals with, uh, the development of what we call on neighborhood centers, and the Indians have indicated quite a bit of interest in this, and we

00:03:34.130 - 00:03:42.450

hope, through coordinated in various programs or the other agencies represented here, that we may be able to do something about that
