Indians still exploited by U.S., speaker says
By BRIAN VON BEVERN Staff Rporete)
Indian tribes must learn to exercise the tremendous economic power represented by the natural resources they control if they succeed. Ms. Harris, a native of Harris, Indian rights activist, said 'last night,' Harris, founder and president of Americans for Indian Opportunity, spoke to about 50 persons on 'Indian Opportunities in Indiana' sponsored by the office of minority affairs.
She said American Indians traditionally have had problems wrestling control of federal programs initiated in their behalf from the government.

"It's like all blacks have rhythm, all Indians have good hand-eye coordination," she said. "What it really is, a racism."
Lack of business skills has also hurt the Indian cause. Haruki sai. The Bureau of Indian Affairs, which provides rights for Indians, used to lease mineral rights to Indian lands without investigating issues.
"They would pull out a 50-year-old contract and fill in the wounds," she said. "But no provisions for Indian employment or environmental consequences, not even the possibility of an increase."

Concert to raise funds for van
Proceeds from the concert will purchase a van for disabled KU students and supplement $5,000 raised last year in a similar
concert, Bill Venable, vice president of fraternity affairs, said recently.
"We want the participation of all organizations at KU. We don't want this to be a Greek event," he said.
He encouraged student participation.
Bob Turvey, associate director of the Student Assistance Center, said disabled students had the use of one van through their school buildings, but another one would be helpful.

"Unless something drastic is done, you will see tribes go bankrupt in three to four years," she said.

The solution, she said, is to let tribes run their own programs, streamlining the tremendous administrative tasks now required.

About 18 students use the van to transport them between home and classes. Turvey said that some students have had to wait more than an hour for a ride.
It wasn't a conspiracy in the Bureau of Indian Affairs, it was just ignorance."
Turvey said van transportation began as
“It’s an American, not just a tribal phenomenon,” she said. “What happens to that we have not seen the real cost. We don’t know the real cost in money and time.”
In addition, he said, a car was used to transport students and some students have been refused service because of lack of space.
PART OF THE problem is that no one knows just what the tribes own, she said. Mineral resources on tribal and federal government estimates of national resources.

Revenue bond bill losing support

Conflict in a Kansas Senate and House Committee over the lapse of the use of industrial revenue limits bill Lawrence had hoped to use as a low-interest finance option for a proposed bill.
State Sen. John Chandler, R-Holton, introduced a bill that requires chairman, a member of the state's legislative body, and of IRAH within three miles of a city's limits and its industrial parks, "dramatically limits present environmental risks."
The amendment applies to bonds issued in the city's home county.
Chandler said any compromise on the bill would have to come when the Legislature went back in session April 30, after a three-week recess that starts today.
"We've left the ball in their (the House's) court," Chandler said. "We're prepared to let it go down the drain."
THE BILL introduced by State Sen. Ana Berman, D-Dawrence, allows cities to be included in the commercial development. Currently the IRBs may be used only for industrial development.
Chandler said conferences should not try to use Berman's hull as a vehicle for rewriting the 15-year old IRB law, which he called "highly successful."
The conference committee, formed to iron out differences over House amendments made in consideration of the bill, reached an agreement on a draft. Chandler said, and "agreed to disagree."
A second conference committee composed of the same legislators was appointed.
posed of the same legislators was appointed. CHANDLER SAID INFORMAL agreement had been reached by the committee on the proposal, Betty Charlton, D-Lawrence, which required a public vote on a city's intended use of IRS if 5 percent of the city's voters voted for it. He said the Senate could also accept a House amendment that required cities to gain lost county IRS approval when it planned to provide an area not in its home county.

State Rep. Larry Erne, D-Coffeyville, who proposed the controversial House amendment, now proposes lessening the effect of the three-mile limit by allowing counties to approve any IRB use outside the limit.

Erne said he sought to increase county control over IRB use. He said the Senate did not want counteys to have veto power over cities.
"The House wants the county to have a say so," he said, "and the Senate doesn't think they should have that say so."
ANOTHER CONFERENCE, State Rep. y., Kearns, R-Merrigan, agreed with both Chandler and Erase that the limit on city IIRB use was behind the impasse.
he said the proposed limits on city use of IRBs was an issue in southeast Kansas and would not affect Lawrence, but he said he was aware that a public vote amendment had been removed.
"I personally am hopeful that we can work out some agreeable compromise between the House and Senate." Kearns said, "We have a significant one or more cities in the state."

In Lawrence, Mike Wilden, assistant city manager, said the bill would allow Lawrence to use IRBs as an optional development tool. Tax increment bonds, which are paid back by taxpayers, are available for downtown development.
"I don't know that it would affect any of our plans necessarily," he said. "Without the bill, we would have less flexibility in different options in downtown development."
"We didn't want it in there," Wildgerd said. "But we wanted the bill too. It might have made it harder to use IRA's in some cases." The executive government on things like that.
