![["The document is a response to the rejection of an institutional based financial aid application by the Regional Appeals Panel. The institution, Flaming Rainbow/University Without Walls, serves a predominantly Native American student population at a low economic level. The document expresses disappointment in the decision and requests a national review of the application. It questions the fairness of the distribution of funds and emphasizes the importance of providing access to education for economically disadvantaged populations. The document also mentions the need for cultural plurality and challenges the decision made by the panel."]](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_0017_thumbnail.jpg "Appeal for Equitable Funding: A Letter to Dr. Carroll V.

![["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")
