The project was initiated by the National Science Foundation and involved the collaboration of Dr. Sophie Aberle, Professor Patrick Suppes, and the governors of the Pueblos. The program aimed to improve education for Indian children through technology and grassroots participation. The success of the project led to plans to expand CAI to all 19 Pueblos. Governor Juan Abeita of Isleta Pueblo expressed gratitude for the funding and highlighted the enthusiasm of the children for the new technology. The initiative demonstrated the importance of local involvement in addressing educational challenges."]](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_20_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Indian%20Education%20Programs/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_31_20_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Innovative Education Initiatives Among Pueblo People")
![["The United States Department of the Interior is requesting a modification in the definition of \"Indian\" for the purpose of implementing a preference in employment of Indians. The current definition of one-quarter degree Indian ancestry for eligibility for preference in the Bureau of Indian Affairs does not align with the statutory definition of \"Indian\" in the Indian Reorganization Act. The request is to harmonize the appointment authority with the statutory definition to ensure fair treatment and uphold the rights conferred by law. The proposed modification would expand the definition of \"Indian\" to include members of recognized tribes under federal jurisdiction or descendants of tribe members. This change aims to address inconsistencies in tribal membership standards and ensure equal treatment for all individuals of Indian descent."]](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_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Request for Modification of Definition of Indian for Schedule A Excepted Appointment Authority in the Department of the Interior")
