![["Mrs. Rita Ann McAllister Megehee is reaching out to Mitchell Bushe, Tribal Enrollment Officer at the Bureau of Indian Affairs, to clarify her Native American heritage. She believes she is 1/4 Sac & Fox and 1/4 Shawnee, but her official enrollment has her listed as 1/4 Sac & Fox. She is seeking certification of her Shawnee blood for her children's education benefits. She provides information about her family history and asks for clarification on her grandmother's listing on the 1884 Shawnee Roll. She also mentions her niece attending college under Indian Education preference due to her father being half Indian."]](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_123_25_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Sac%20and%20Fox,%201974/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_123_25_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Seeking Certification of Shawnee Blood: A Letter to Mr. Mitchell Bushe")

The Bureau checked records and found that her grandmother was not listed as a member of the Absentee Shawnee Tribe but was listed on the 1394 Sac and Fox roll. The Bureau confirmed that Mrs. Megehee's children are eligible for educational assistance based on their Indian blood quantum. The Shawnee Agency also confirmed Mrs. Megehee's Indian blood quantum but could not verify her Shawnee heritage."]](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_123_25_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Sac%20and%20Fox,%201974/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_123_25_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Blood Verification for Educational Assistance Eligibility")
