Okla. Stat. tit. 70, § 70-3-172: Purpose of act

The purpose of the Oklahoma Advisory Council on Indian Education

Act is to recognize the unique relationship that Oklahoma enjoys

with the Indian tribes located within the state and how Native

Americans and Indian tribes play a pivotal role in the educational

system of the state in light of this special relationship. The

further purpose of the act is to establish the Oklahoma Advisory

Council on Indian Education. The purpose of creating the Council is

to promote culturally relevant learning environments, educational

opportunities and instructional material for Native American

students enrolled in the public schools of the state. Because of

the number of Native American students enrolled in public schools in

the state, this objective will positively affect the educational

success of all public school students and encourage further

government-to-government cooperation between the State of Oklahoma

and the sovereign Indian tribes located in Oklahoma.
