Job opportunities for American Indians in careers involving the land and its resources are discussed in "Careers for Indians in
Agriculture," a new eight-page leaflet just published by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Aimed primarily at interesting high school students in furthering their education, the leaflet may be obtained from the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, Washington, D.C. 20242 or any Indian agency without cost.
The leaflet notes that, while many of the old traditional farm jobs are dwindling, new opportunities are being created in more
sophisticated areas of natural resource management such as water resource development, range and forest management and use, wildlife
conservation, and others.
Among the occupations described are: Farm and ranch operator, veterinary medicine, agricultural technician, agricultural research,
resource management, agriculture business and teaching.
