Hello Friends of the Indian Walk-In
Center-
As many of you are
aware, President Bush has proposed limination
of the Urban Indian Health Program
funding in FY 2007 budget.
This $33 million line item
funds 34 urban Indian health centers under
Title V of the Indian Health Care Improvement
Act (PL 94-437; September 30, 1976). If
eliminated, most of our urban Indian health
centers would close or fade away.
The Indian Walk-In Center could be one of
those sites, as the only urban Indian health
program in Utah.
The Utah Concerned
Citizens of the First Nations has organized a
Walk in support of ALL Indian rights and to
remind the Federal Government of their
trust responsibilities and treaty promises with
the Indigenous Peoples of the United
States.
Please join the procession on
Friday April 21, 2006, in front of
the
Indian Walk-In Center at 11:00am (120
West 1300 South). Marchers will be led up
State Street by our Native Elder, Mr. Bob
Taylor, until we reach the Wallace F. Bennett
Federal Building at 125 South State Street.
Organizers of the event believe we can
get at least 300 people to support this "Walk
of Honor."
