Title VI American Indian Education
The Title VI American Indian Education Act, established in 1972, was a groundbreaking law designed to address the specific educational needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students. This legislation recognizes the unique cultural, academic, and language needs of these students and provides support to help them succeed academically.
Title VI addresses the distinct educational and cultural needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students. This legislation is the only comprehensive federal law covering Indian education from preschool through higher education, and it emphasizes the federal government's responsibility to support the education of these students. Finally, the Act provides services that are not offered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
