![["The hiring rules for Indian preference in the Bureau of Indian Affairs are being revised, which may have a negative impact on five Oklahoma tribes. The rules are changing to only provide preference to half-blood individuals, excluding those with one-quarter Indian blood. The controversy surrounding the changes has led to potential legal challenges and confusion among employees. Commissioner Morris Thompson has directed his staff to use the 1934 act criteria for Indian preference in hiring. There is also a memo regarding a call from Jim Robey of the BIA regarding Indian preference."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_140_39_0000%20--%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Indian%20Preference,%201976/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_140_39_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Impact of Revised Indian Preference Rules on Five Oklahoma Tribes")
![["The document is a letter discussing a proposed Bureau of Indian Affairs regulation that would expand preference to descendants of members of certain tribes in Oklahoma. The document argues that this proposal is misconceived and lacks statutory authority. It also disputes the Secretary's interpretation of the Indian Reorganization Act and argues that the proposed regulation cannot be based on this interpretation. The document raises concerns about the lack of eligibility for descendants of certain Oklahoma tribes and questions the Secretary's position on tribal organization under the Act."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_140_39_0000%20--%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Indian%20Preference,%201976/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_140_39_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Analysis of Proposed BIA Regulation Expanding Preference for Descendants of Five Civilized and Osage Tribes in Oklahoma")
![["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."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_140_39_0000%20--%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Indian%20Preference,%201976/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_140_39_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Indian Preference Policy and Discrimination against Five Tribes")
![["The document is a letter from the President of the Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes to Congressman Glen English, requesting an amendment to the revenue sharing law. The amendment would base the revenue sharing funds for each tribe on the resident Indian population in their service area, rather than on taxes levied by local governments. The document emphasizes that tribal governments are obligated to provide services to all Indians regardless of where they live, and should not be impacted by local tax levies. The resolution was unanimously adopted by the Council during their quarterly session."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_140_37_0000%20--%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20General,%201976/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_140_37_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Resolution for Amending Revenue Sharing Law: Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes")

They clarify that the legal opinions of Karl Funke, a specialist, were not representative of the Commission's official position. The document addresses concerns about eligibility for Indian preference, particularly for Oklahoma tribes, and requests clarification from the Department of the Interior and Civil Service Commission.
