Abstract	Government officials must recognize the fact that the diversity among American Indian peoples necessitates Indian control of Indian educational programs. A recent study points out that distributing educational dollars in a manner that will permit greater participation by the beneficiaries increases their opportunities for success. Indian educational programs should be planned in conjunction with the economic programs of a given community. Since the key to designing relevant adult programs is the adaptability of the project to community needs, a reservation based adult vocational program should be designed to meet existing as well as developing labor markets. The Coalition of Indian Controlled School Boards has provided an exemplary teacher training program wherein diversity is handled with a limited amount of funds via community designed program priorities and delivery mechanisms. Among the commonalities which permit a general educational framework are development of language, tribal history, Indianized staff, and reservation based early childhood and college programs. Urban Indian communities should work toward development of Indian oriented programs in the public school system (remedial, tutorial, diagnostic, and cultural) or toward development of alternative schools which meet specific Indian needs.
