![["The document is a response to a letter of inquiry regarding Indian Health Service policies and practices governing eligibility for health services. It explains that the IHS does not use blood quantum to determine eligibility, and eligibility is based on Indian descent. The document also addresses concerns about the requirement of birth certificates for eligibility and discusses the impact of a resolution by the Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes to lower blood quantum requirements. The IHS is studying the programmatic impact of this resolution and seeking guidance on the authority of the Council to change blood quantum requirements."]](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_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Understanding Indian Health Service Eligibility Policies and Practices: A Response to Senator Bartlett")
![["Ms. Pamela E. Iron, Director of the Indian Health Care Resource Center in Tulsa, expressed appreciation to Senator Dewey F. Bartlett for his efforts in seeking funding for the Indian Health Care Improvement Act. The center is working towards improving the health status of American Indians, especially in urban areas where accessibility to healthcare facilities is limited. They are establishing an urban medical clinic and have submitted a budget to the Indian Health Service for funding. The budget includes costs for labor, materials, supplies, equipment, travel, consultants, and operational expenses, totaling $274,040.00. Senator Bartlett expressed commitment to improving the health status of Indian people and thanked Ms. Iron for her support."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_003_2_32_11_0017.jpg "Correspondence Regarding the Funding and Implementation of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act")
![["The letter from Senator Dewey F. Bartlett to Dr. Emery Johnson of the Indian Health Service in 1977 addresses concerns from Indian tribes in Oklahoma about the blood quantum requirement for Indian health care services. The Indian Health Service does not use blood quantum to determine eligibility, but tribes may use it to determine membership. The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes requested a lower blood quantum requirement for health care services, which the Indian Health Service is studying. The letter also discusses the need for changes in blood quantum requirements to be of general applicability, not just for health services. The Indian Health Service aims to provide quality care within fiscal limitations."]](https://jones-2.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Dewey+F.+Bartlett+Collection/Subject,+1946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_11_0000-Indian+Affairs,+Health,+1973+Feb.+-+1978+Sep.,+1973-1978_2-32-10/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_10_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Blood Quantum Requirements for Indian Health Services")

![["Ann Heller, an Indian Counselor for Indian Pupil Education in Tulsa, Oklahoma, wrote a letter to Senator Dewey F. Bartlett expressing concern about a policy that requires Indians to possess certificates of Indian blood in order to receive services at Indian Health Service facilities. She explained that many Indian people do not have these certificates and are unable to obtain them due to backlogs and lack of birth certificates for ancestors. She requested that Senator Bartlett make a formal inquiry and investigation into the issue to help alleviate the suffering of Indian people. Senator Bartlett responded, acknowledging the letter and stating that he would look into the matter with the Indian Health Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs."]](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_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding New Requirement for Indian Health Services")
![["Various tribal organizations and councils are expressing concern and opposition to Senate Bill S.991, which proposes transferring Bureau of Indian Affairs Education Programs to a new Federal Department of Education. They argue that the unique needs of American Indian/Alaskan Native educational programs are different from the general population and should remain under the Bureau of Indian Affairs to maintain the trust relationship with Indian tribes. They also request for a detailed plan for the new department's function and the role of Indian education within it, as well as safeguards to ensure adequate funding for Indian education programs."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_31_7_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Education,%201975/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_31_7_0027_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to Transfer of Indian Education Programs: A Call for Action")
