![["The document discusses the historical context of preferential hiring and promotion for Indian people in the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service. It highlights the conflict between non-Indian employees reaching a career dead-end and qualified Indian individuals waiting for promotional opportunities. To address this issue, a bill is introduced to revise retirement benefits for non-Indian employees, allowing them to retire earlier and creating more opportunities for qualified Indians to advance in their careers. The bill also outlines specific amendments to existing laws to support this initiative."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_8_61_29_0000-Tulsa%20Office%20Files,%20Indians,%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%201974,%201976/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_8_61_29_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Legislation for Promotional Equity: The Retirement Benefits Act")
![["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")

He discussed the challenges faced in providing mortgage credit to individual Indians, the lack of freedom in alienation of land, and the need for a viable mortgage credit mechanism within reservations. Reilly suggested the gradual merging of individual Indian money accounts into a savings and credit mechanism to address the pressing housing issue. He also recommended the creation of a full-scale guarantee or insurance system to support housing initiatives on Indian reservations."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_33_8_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Housing,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_8_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Addressing the Indian Housing Problem: Testimony of Paul G.

![["The Ramah Navajo School Board has not yet recontracted with the Bureau of Indian Affairs for school operation funds, citing concerns about the new policy of vesting authority in Area Offices instead of the Central Office in Washington D.C. The School Board feels powerless in negotiations with the Albuquerque Area Office and believes the Bureau is intentionally keeping Indian communities in a cycle of powerlessness. They argue for self-determination and equitable rights in negotiating contracts for their schools. The Bureau is criticized for inequities in funding and oversight of contract schools compared to their own schools. The School Board is determined to run their own school for the next 100 years and calls for changes to legislation to support Indian control of education."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_33_14_0000-Indian%20Self-determination,%201953/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_14_0024_thumbnail.jpg "Empowering Indian Communities: A Call for Self-Determination in Education")
