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

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The President can hire capable, moral instructors to teach Indians better farming methods. This applies where improvement seems possible and instruction is accepted with consent. Instructors also teach children reading, writing, and arithmetic. The President must report yearly to Congress on this work.

This section is a single, old provision, using period language. Wherever the President judges it practical to improve the habits and living conditions of certain Indians, and judges that instruction can be introduced with their own consent, the President may employ capable people of good moral character. These instructors teach farming methods suited to the situation, and teach children reading, writing, and arithmetic. Instructors also perform other duties the President assigns, following instructions and rules the President sets for their conduct. Each year, a report on how this provision has been carried out must be laid before Congress.

A report of the proceedings adopted in the execution of this provision shall be annually laid before Congress.
