At the survey's inception, P.L. 93-638 which amended the 1936 Johnson-O'Malley Act (JOM) had been passed. However, the new regulations had not been issued. The proposed regulations eliminated the factor of Indian tax-exempt land as a prerequisite in determining eligibility for participation under the JOM program. As the potentially eligible were now eligible (under new BIA regulations), the survey defined these two groups as: reservation based--longtime eligible JOM children and non-reservation based--additional eligible JOM children (under a low priority) based on BIA regulations. Data were obtained from census data and the 1975 surveys of Indian students in public schools completed by all states for various ethnic purposes. This report presents a brief discussion of the basic eligibility criteria for enumerating eligible Indian children; a review of laws, regulations, policies, and the intent of Congress regarding assistance to Indian children in public, private, and parochial schools; and tabular data. Tabular data summarizes the: reservation based and non-reservation based Indian children in the 24 states where Indian lands are held in trust by the U.S. government; total number of eligible and potentially eligible Indian children in all states; and number of now eligible non-reservation based Indian children in states without Indian trust lands. Brief comments on each state situation follow the statistical summaries. (NQ)
