![["The letter from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs to Senator Fred R. Harris discusses the Indian Arts and Crafts Board's efforts in Alaska to support Native craftsmen. The Board has established workshops, provided training opportunities at the University of Alaska, and assisted in retraining programs in Nome. These initiatives have led to the development of new craft products, market testing, and the establishment of the Arctic Eskimo Arts and Crafts Association. The programs aim to support Native craftsmen in Alaska and promote the production and marketing of quality craft products."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_41_16_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201966/thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_41_16_0043_thumbnail.jpg "Letter Regarding the Development and Promotion of Alaska Indian Arts & Crafts")

The Bureau appreciates the support of the Daughters of the American Revolution in providing scholarships for Indian students. The Bureau recognizes individuals as Indians regardless of their degree of Indian blood if they are enrolled members of a tribe. Assistance for Indians living independently among the general population must be obtained from available sources. The Federal Government provides assistance programs for needy Indians on or near reservations, with criteria such as possession of Indian blood and residence on reservation or trust property. Mrs. Driskell's letter and Senator Harris' response have been enclosed for review."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_41_16_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201966/thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_41_16_0045_thumbnail.jpg "1966 Correspondence Regarding Indian Affairs and Educational Scholarships")

![["Mr. Jim Snow, Jr. inquired about obtaining an Indian allotment on Forest Service lands in Oklahoma. The Forest Service explained that all lands suitable for agricultural settlement have been settled or allotted, and there are no lands available for homesteading or allotment purposes. The Forest Homestead Act of 1906 did not provide homesteading rights for Indians, and the lands in question were reacquired by the United States for specific purposes and are not open for settlement. The Forest Allotment Act of 1910 allowed eligible Indians to obtain allotments on National Forest lands, but all lands classified for agricultural settlement have been settled or allotted. Congress repealed the 1906 act in 1962 because its purpose had been fulfilled. The Forest Service expressed understanding for the frustrations of those who obtain Certificates of Eligibility but find no lands available for agricultural settlement."]](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_52_33_0000-Interior%20-%20Indian%20Affairs,%201965/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_52_33_0012_thumbnail.jpg "Claim for Attorney Fees: Bauman vs. C-C Nations")
