![["The American Indian Nurses' Association is protesting against discrimination by the Civil Service Commission in downgrading the Chief Nursing Branch position to a GS-13 despite the increase in qualified American Indian nurses. They argue that this decision is not only a matter of salary, but also affects administrative structure and Indian self-determination. They point out the unequal treatment of Indian nurses compared to non-Indian nurses in terms of qualifications and responsibilities. The Association believes that this discrimination is a violation of equal pay laws and is hindering Indian self-determination."]](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_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Position Paper: Addressing Discrimination Against American Indian Nurses by the Civil Service Commission")
