![["The document is a series of correspondence regarding the Johnson-O'Malley Act funds and education for Native American children. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is reviewing programs and offering assistance to the Carnegie Community Action Group in Oklahoma. The Act provides financial assistance for the education of Indian children residing on Indian-owned tax-exempt land. The funds are administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the respective States, with eligibility based on need and negotiated plans. Urban Indians are not typically included in the program due to limited resources and the higher proportion of Indian populations in rural areas. The Director of Indian Education in Oklahoma is available to discuss the program and eligibility requirements with the group."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/91st%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_10_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_10_141_8A_0000-Interior%20-%20Departmental%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%201969-1970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_10_141_8A_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Johnson O'Malley Act Funds and Indian Education in Oklahoma, 1969")
