| Abstract | This paper discusses historical, financial, and governance issues in American Indian education in New York State, as well as future directions that may be taken to improve educational opportunities for American Indians. In New York, unique interrelationships between tribes and state have shaped the development of Indian education down to the present time. Early on, the state assumed a very direct responsibility for Indian education, and because of the traditions and beliefs of the various tribes, there has generally been a reluctance to change existing arrangements. Public school districts serving Indian students from reservations receive a disproportionate amount of state aid, and the state provides tuition to full-time in-state Indian college students. Various tribes and the public school districts serving their children may be eligible for federal impact aid and for grant funds from federal educational programs. However, more traditional tribes have typically rejected federal funding because they do not want entanglements with the federal government, and have also been reluctant to be involved in the governance of the public schools their children attend. Nonetheless, it would behoove American Indian advocates to seek out all possible sources of financial support in their efforts to preserve Indian culture and at the same time give Indian students the skills they need to succeed in the modern world. Greater political activism, including voting on school budgets and serving on school boards, and the exploration of alternative types of school organization might also be useful in meeting these objectives.
