25 U.S.C. § 271 — Employment of instructors for Indians
submitted date unrecorded by Congress to r/title-25-INDIANS · 114 words · no verdicts yet
The President can hire teachers to instruct Indians in farming. This only happens where it's practical and the Indians consent. Teachers also teach children reading, writing, and math, and Congress gets a yearly report.
This section lets the President arrange instruction for Indians, wherever the President judges it practical to improve their habits and living conditions, and where the Indians themselves consent to it.
The President can hire capable people of good moral character to teach agriculture suited to the Indians' situation, and to teach their children reading, writing, and arithmetic. These instructors also perform other duties the President assigns, following the President's own rules for their conduct.
Each year, a report on how this has been carried out must be given to Congress.
The President may, in every case where he shall judge improvement in the habits and condition of such Indians practicable, and that the means of instruction can be introduced with their own consent, employ capable persons of good moral character to instruct them in the mode of agriculture suited to their situation; and for teaching their children in reading, writing, and arithmetic, and performing such other duties as may be enjoined according to such instructions and rules as the President may give and prescribe for the regulation of their conduct, in the discharge of their duties. A report of the proceedings adopted in the execution of this provision shall be annually laid before Congress.
