This law tells the Secretary of the Interior to study Indian education in the U.S. and Alaska, through the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The study must look at problems facing children from non-English-speaking homes and ways to move Indian children into public schools more fairly. The Secretary must report the results to Congress within two years of getting funding.
