![["Oklahoma Senators and Congressmen are urging the Senate Appropriations Committee to provide a direct appropriation to cover the cost of administering loans to Indians by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. They argue that funds allocated for Indian loans have been significantly reduced in recent years due to administrative costs. They are requesting that the House-passed Interior Department appropriations bill be amended to provide for these administrative needs and to replace the funds that have been diminished. Other members of the Oklahoma delegation are also involved in the effort to address this issue."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_33_22_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Carl%20Albert%20Material,%201959/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_33_22_0002_thumbnail.jpg "The Removal of Restrictions on Indian Property Rights: A Historical Perspective")
![["Calvin W. Kinsey is concerned about potential erosion of the Federal merit system of employment in the Executive Branch due to changes in the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The changes will give more authority to superintendents and area directors, and some current officials will be replaced within 90 days. Navajo Chairman-elect Peter MacDonald supports the idea of Navajos filling key positions in the BIA. The goal is to allow Native Americans to control their own affairs and prioritize resources for accomplishments."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_82_55_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Reorganization,%201970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_82_55_0012_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns Over Changes to Federal Employment System in the Executive Branch")

![["The Affiliated Tribes of the Northwest Indians are strongly opposed to a plan to regionalize BIA education without consultation with Indian tribes. The rationale for regionalizing BIA education includes placing line control of Indian schools under professional educators, allowing for more effective use of education positions, and better meeting the objectives of Indian education at the regional level. Regionalization would also facilitate transfer of BIA education facilities to public school districts and potentially allow for local control of schools by Indian groups. The plan is still in the initial planning stage and is subject to debate."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_82_55_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Reorganization,%201970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_82_55_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians: Opposition to the Regionalization of BIA Education Plan")

![["The Federal Government, through joint action by the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture, has authorized the release of feed grain by the Commodity Credit Corporation to protect Indian-owned livestock in drought disaster areas in the southwest.

![["A new legislation, Public Law 94-114, signed by President Ford on October 17, 1975, added 370,000 acres of land to Indian tribal holdings. The land was originally purchased by the United States in the 1930s and was transferred to 17 Indian tribes for better management and use. The land will be held in trust by the United States and managed in the same way as other reservation or Indian trust land. The legislation was part of a national program to retire low-productivity land from private cultivation. Various tribes, including the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, Navajo Tribe, and others, received additional land through the legislation. Additionally, the Laguna Pueblo Tribe received approximately 520 acres of land within their reservation boundaries."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_132_2_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20General,%201975/thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_132_2_0014_thumbnail.jpg "1975 Legislation Expands Indian Reservations by 370,000 Acres")
