A review was made of the activities of the Lummi Indian
School of Aquaculture, near Bellingham, Washington, from June
1973 through February 1977. The review concentrateC upon: (1)
the sources and use of Federal Funds, (2) the extent and use of
equipment purchased with Federal funds, (3) the overhead costs
in administering the program, (4) the per-student cos#.- compared
with similar programs, (5) job opportunities and duration and
salary of such employment, and (6) the training-reated job
market. Findings/Conclusions: Funding by four Federal Agencies
during the period June 1973 through September 1976 amounted to
$1.5 million, with the Bureau of Indian Affairs providing 55%.
The cost of instructional equipment purchased was $48,oO0, and
six vans and one truck were purchased for about $40,000. Except
for a few items, all were being used by the school for student
training. Through August 1976, $36,645 went for tribal overhead
expenses. On the basis of 110 completed 9-month school terms,
average annual cost per completed student was $13,209, compared
with Peninsula College's $1,386 per student. Of 62 students from
the Aquaculture school who entered the job market, 40 obtained
employment, but only 26 were in training-related jobs. These 26
have held a total of 32 different positions--27 with Indian
tribes. The hourly rate ranged from $3.00 to $5.19. The job
market was fair to poor at all hiring levels. (DJM)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaacii0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
