![["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.
