Abstract	In spring 1973 the State of Wisconsin mandated the Council on Indian Education in an effort to involve Indian people, not only as advisors but as a working committee, to assess and promote quality Indian educational opportunities. Objectives outlined at the first meeting included collecting information from state agencies concerning Native Americans; disseminating program information to the public; determining responsiveness of state agencies; compiling recommendations to Wisconsin's Equal Rights Council for proposed legislation; recommending improved quality of education and equal employment for Native Americans; and recognizing Native American individual rights and tribal self-determination. Limitations experienced by the Council included: Indian involvement, personnel selection, non-support of educators and public officials; lack of community support and public schools; understanding of tribes and local Indian education committees; and little communication among Council members. The Council submitted 18 recommendations, of which 4 were prioritized. They recommended continuing research of Indian educational needs; improving and enriching educational efforts in the state by teaching Indian history and culture; requesting from state agencies how Indian education can be improved and supplemented through ongoing program efforts; and designing legislation to upgrade the quality of education for American Indians in Wisconsin. Appendices include meeting minutes, budget requests, and handouts. (ERB)
