Abstract	The proceedings focus on delivery of educational services to American Indians today; educational policies and legislation are priority topics. The keynote address by the education advisor, White House Domestic Council, centers on the federal role in Indian education, dealing specifically with three major administration educational policies--restored funding for educational programs, improved delivery of educational services, and guaranteed quality of education. The convention report contains a panel presentation on "learning from yesterday for tomorrow" in Indian education and an address by the Commissioner of Education, U.S. Office of Education, on the Indian Education Act. Other paper topics include the role of a tribal education division, American Indian postsecondary education, Bureau of Indian Affairs special education line item appropriations, past failures by teachers and schools, white backlash impacts, adult education, the future, higher education financial aids, a model bilingual-bicultural teacher education program (Mississippi State University), parental involvement, Indian postsecondary preparatory academies, tribal sovereignty, and self-determination. There are resolutions on employment, appropriations, financial aids, education (adult, vocational, bilingual, higher, special), government agencies/programs, alcoholism, and drug abuse. (RS)
