![["The document discusses the decision by the Five Civilized Tribes of Eastern Oklahoma to lower the blood quantum eligibility criteria for Indian health care services. The letter from Senator Dewey Bartlett expresses concern about the impact of this decision on other tribes in the state and requests a report on the reasoning behind the decision. The letter from Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Ross O. Swimmer explains that blood quantum is not a legal reason for denying service, but is a self-imposed criteria by the tribes.

![["The letter from Senator Dewey F. Bartlett to Dr. Emery Johnson of the Indian Health Service in 1977 addresses concerns from Indian tribes in Oklahoma about the blood quantum requirement for Indian health care services.

The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes requested a lower blood quantum requirement for health care services, which the Indian Health Service is studying. The letter also discusses the need for changes in blood quantum requirements to be of general applicability, not just for health services. The Indian Health Service aims to provide quality care within fiscal limitations."]](https://jones-2.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Dewey+F.+Bartlett+Collection/Subject,+1946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_11_0000-Indian+Affairs,+Health,+1973+Feb.+-+1978+Sep.,+1973-1978_2-32-10/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_10_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Blood Quantum Requirements for Indian Health Services")
