![["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 report from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare provides information on the criteria change and the availability of health services at Indian Health Service facilities."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_10_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Health,%201973%20Feb.%20-%201978%20Sep.,%201973-1978%20(2)/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_11_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Controversy Over Lowered Blood Quantum Eligibility Criteria for Indian Health Services: Correspondence between Principal Chief Ross O.

![["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 Indian Health Service does not use blood quantum to determine eligibility, but tribes may use it to determine membership. 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")

![["The document is from Dewey Bartlett, a United States Senator, to C.G. Oliver, the Superintendent of Schools in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Bartlett expresses disappointment that the Board of Education has decided not to apply for Title IV - Part A Indian Education funds for the 1976-77 school year due to disagreements with the Indian Parent Committee. Bartlett offers his assistance in resolving the matter and keeping the Indian children enrolled at Broken Arrow from missing out on the additional funds. The document also mentions the return of funds allocated for the 1975-76 fiscal year project and the potential purchase of equipment for educational purposes.
