![["The United States Department of the Interior is requesting a modification in the definition of \"Indian\" for the purpose of implementing a preference in employment of Indians. The current definition of one-quarter degree Indian ancestry for eligibility for preference in the Bureau of Indian Affairs does not align with the statutory definition of \"Indian\" in the Indian Reorganization Act. The request is to harmonize the appointment authority with the statutory definition to ensure fair treatment and uphold the rights conferred by law. The proposed modification would expand the definition of \"Indian\" to include members of recognized tribes under federal jurisdiction or descendants of tribe members. This change aims to address inconsistencies in tribal membership standards and ensure equal treatment for all individuals of Indian descent."]](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_140_39_0000%20--%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Indian%20Preference,%201976/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_140_39_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Request for Modification of Definition of Indian for Schedule A Excepted Appointment Authority in the Department of the Interior")

![["The document is addressing a problem with defining \"Indian\" for purposes of Indian preference employment for the Five Civilized Tribes of Eastern Oklahoma. The Department of the Interior had initially suggested a one-quarter degree requirement, but a staff member from the American Policy Review Commission suggested a one-half degree requirement. The document requests that any rulemaking regarding the Tribes be postponed and suggests including an exception for the Tribes in the new regulation. It also mentions a similar alternative proposed by the Solicitor General's office.
