battle to integrate its federally funded Head Start Program which includes twenty children at the facility on the reservation of the Kanosh Band in Millard County Earlier this year tribal offcials were told the program which target kids under five from low income families would no longer be funded because it did not restrict its enrollment to Indian children Under the American Indians Program Branch of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Head Start Program only Indian children can participate But at Kanosh and Shiv wits Reservation near St George up to half of the kids in the program come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds Parents of the children were angry at the decision to “defund” the program They argued that mixing and teaching children from a variety of backgrounds served a greater goal of socializing both Indians and others to according to cooperative interaction Head Start parent Lisa Waters "As everyone knows we have a lot of trouble between Indians and other kids in the public schools and this mingling of kids in Head Start is a great way to get a jump on the problem” she said This argument was presented formally to federal officials in Washington DC last month according to Paiute Tribal Chairman Geneal Anderson She said officials there accepted the tionale and decided to work with the tribe “We suggested that the program with no criteria for be maintained ethnic background To do that it would out of the have to be transferred American Indians Program and into the regular regional Head Start prothis Denver of out they agreed gram to and we now have funding through the year" Head Start is a formal educational system where low income needy children are taught things they might otherwise be deprived of so they are on equal footing with more fortunate kids when they move into mainstream education Mr Anderson said that Head Start provides food and health care as well as education to the needy children "Many studies have shown the benefit of Head Start" the tribal chairman said “It is estimated that almost 40 percent of the low income kids suffer handicaps of an emotional physical health or learning nature We can’t wait for these kids to hit the elementary school and hope they can handle it We have to start early” she said A private study revealed that for every $1 spent on Head Start the federal government saves $4 in future welfare dependency Ms Anderson said |
