This report summarizes a joint session held by the Indian Nations At Risk Task Force and the National Advisory Council on Indian Education to hear testimony on issues in urban American Indian education. Issues and problems were in the areas of: (1) the position of Native Americans as a very small minority in large urban schools; (2) lack of funding for Indian programs in urban areas, particularly for vocational education and Head Start; (3) greater severity in urban areas of problems such as high Indian dropout rates; (4) problems of racism and poor racial relations; (5) lack of a tracking system for students who go back and forth between the reservation and family in urban areas; (6) competition with other minority groups for funding and administrative awareness; (7) difficulties in identification of Indian students; (8) the development of Indian gangs in some urban areas; and (9) the need for Native Americans to learn how to influence the "system" at local, state, and federal levels. Also discussed were possible sources of funding for urban Indian education; ways to make that funding more effective; and urban Indian programs that focus on tutoring and remediation, cultural activities, and community networking.
