Ute Plan Pushes Indian Pupils Into Public Schools
Delegates returning from Washington report the Indian Bureau supports rapid integration of Uintah Indian pupils into public schools. The Utes seek to retain the Uintah Indian school during transition, with eventual full enrollment and public relations work to overcome non Indian misperceptions. The tribe budgets 10000 for repairs to derelict Indian school buildings and the Bureau pledges ongoing maintenance.
