![["The memorandum discusses issues with Title 20, a federal program that delivers social services, which subvert Indian sovereignty and hinder effective delivery of services to Indian communities. It suggests amending Title 20 to allow Indian tribes to qualify for direct grants from federal agencies to resolve jurisdictional, legal, and administrative problems. The memorandum provides examples of conflicts between state and tribal governments over control of social service funds and recommends recognizing Indian tribes as independent units of government for eligibility under federal grant 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_36_9_0000-Indian%20Sterilization%20-%20subject%20-%20Bartlett/thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_36_9_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Revising Title 20: Improving Federal Funding Deliverance and Sovereignty for Indian Tribes")
