![["Cherokee Chief W.W. Keeler criticizes the US government for failing to support and develop the American Indian community, comparing their treatment to being herded like cattle. He believes that government programs have not helped the Indians become self-sufficient. Keeler warns against resorting to violence and calls for fair treatment and consultation with Indian tribes. He also acknowledges the efforts of some white people in supporting Indian rights."]](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_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Urgent Request to Suspend Bureau of Indian Affairs Restructuring Plan")
![["The document discusses a proposed reorganization of the Indian Bureau by Commissioner Bruce, including transferring Virgil Harrington and rotating managers every two to five years. The Bureau aims to strengthen Agency offices and change the title of top agency man to Field Administrator. There is concern about regionalizing educational activities and engineering functions, moving them further from the Indians. Nine tribal officers oppose the proposal, and Ed Edmondson's Committee may investigate the policy changes."]](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_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Reorganization and Policy Changes in the Indian Bureau: A Compilation of Correspondences from Charles L.

![["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 Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs is implementing a new policy requiring the rotation of managers and administrators every two to five years in order to better serve the needs of Indian people, improve Bureau programs, and provide opportunities for employee development. The policy aims to address issues with employees remaining in positions too long and difficulty in reassigning employees. The policy also includes changes in job descriptions for Field Administrators to emphasize the trust responsibility and shift away from paternalistic language. The Bureau is also making changes in delegation of authority to place control at the local level and transform the Bureau into a service organization."]](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_0007_thumbnail.jpg "New Policy for Employee Rotation in the Bureau of Indian Affairs")

![["Donna Willis from Representative Olsen's office called regarding a water rights lawsuit involving Pueblo Indians in New Mexico. The groups San Felipe and Santo Domingo want Bill Veedle, an Indian water rights expert, as their co-counsel, but there is a conflict-of-interest issue preventing his participation. Miss Willis wants to contact Leonard Garment at the White House to request Veedle's involvement. Additionally, a request was made for Veedle to be appointed as special assistant attorney general for the Pueblo Indians' litigation.
