It is the sense of Congress that Congress should— provide full funding for Tribal Colleges and Universities and Bureau-funded schools, including increased funding to develop lessons and curricula that provide culturally competent and historically accurate information; provide increased funding to recruit and retain teachers at schools that serve a high proportion of Native students, including Bureau-funded schools, in order to address the educational disparities faced by Native American students described in section 301; provide full funding for school construction and repairs at Bureau-funded schools, which have lacked longstanding adequate funding and prioritization, to correct facilities operations inefficiencies that contribute to the chronic poor educational outcomes and performance of students at those schools; and increase and make permanent programmatic funding for Native American language programs to restore the elimination of traditional languages that colonial education forced on Native American students during the Assimilation Era.
