Navajo Nation president blasts BIA budget cuts
Tuesday, February 28, 2006
Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley Jr. said the Bush administration failed to consult tribes when it cut the Bureau of Indian Affairs budget.
Shirley spoke at the tribal budget advisory committee meeting in Washington, D.C., last week. He said the BIA has ignored the recommendations made by the tribes.
President Bush's fiscal year 2007 budget includes $50 million in cuts in BIA school construction, elimination of the $16 million Johnson-O’Malley education grants and elimination of the $33 million Urban Indian Health Program.
