![["The document discusses the issue of Indian preference in employment within the Bureau of Indian Affairs, specifically focusing on the rights and privileges of members of the Five Tribes. There is concern about discrimination against those who are less than 1/2 blood quantum and efforts to deny them equal rights. The document requests intervention from Honorable Carl Albert and expresses gratitude for support in addressing this issue. There is also mention of a letter to Tribal Chairmen seeking recommendations for revising the Indian preference employment policy, based on a Solicitor's opinion. The importance of determining who qualifies as an Indian for employment preference is highlighted."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_001_4_140_39_0013.jpg "Title: Indian Preference Policy and Discrimination against Five Tribes")

![["The Chief of the Osage Tribe of Oklahoma sent a letter to Senator Dewey Bartlett regarding a poll conducted on March 2, 1976. The poll showed that the majority of Osage people did not favor a change in their form of government. The Chief expressed concerns about the proposed legislation, which would create a second Council and potentially exclude those with less than 1/4 blood from participating in tribal government affairs. The Chief urged Senator Bartlett not to introduce the legislation based on the results of the poll. The Chief also sent copies of the letter to other government officials and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_001_4_140_45_0003.jpg "Osage Tribe's Response to Proposed Legislation")
