![["Oklahoma has provided educational opportunities for all citizens, including Indians, through various treaties and Acts of Congress.

There is concern about the burden placed on taxpayers in districts with tax-exempt Indian lands, as they do not contribute to school funding. The Committee writing the bill may not have considered 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_2_12_0000%20-%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Tribal%20Government,%20Education%20and%20Health,%201947/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_2_12_0026_thumbnail.jpg "Oklahoma's Commitment to Indigenous Education and the Implications of Proposed Legislation")
