![["The document discusses key principles of the Self-Determination Act and Regulations. Key Principle #1 emphasizes that the Tribal Governing Body is the sole authority for the tribe in regards to the Act, and only tribal governments are eligible for Self-Determination grants. Key Principle #2 states that tribes are not required to use the tools provided by the Regulations or establish Self-Determination programs, and that tribes have the right to retain Bureau services if they choose. The overall goal of the Act and Regulations is to allow tribes to establish their own priorities and goals without Federal domination, and to ensure that Federal programs align with tribal priorities."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_30_26_0001-Indian%20Affairs,%20Concho%20Indian%20School,%201974%20July%20-%201978%20Aug/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_26_0026_thumbnail.jpg "Principles of Tribal Self-Determination: A Guide to Governing Body Authority and Tribal Sovereignty")

![["The document is a series of letters regarding Ben Brown's attempt to establish his ancestry as a Creek Indian. The Bureau of Indian Affairs and Muskogee Area Office have both stated that they cannot offer him recognition as a Creek Indian due to lack of sufficient proof of his Creek Indian blood. Senator Bartlett made an inquiry on his behalf but was unable to provide any hope of recognition. Brown's mother was half Seminole and half Creek, but only enrolled as a Seminole, making it difficult to establish his Creek Indian heritage. Brown is seeking help to clarify and establish his ancestry for potential benefits for his children."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_28_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Creek%20Nation,%201971%20Sept.%20-%201978%20June.,%201971-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_28_0026_thumbnail.jpg "Ancestry Inquiry for Ben Brown and Creek Tribe Recognition")
