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")

![["The memorandum discusses the distribution of judgment funds awarded to the Delaware Tribes in Oklahoma, specifically the exclusion of the Kansas Delawares from the distribution. The issue arose due to a lawsuit filed by the Kansas Delawares, leading to a Supreme Court decision that they were not entitled to share in the funds. Both the Oklahoma Delawares and the Kansas Delawares are seeking support from the Oklahoma Congressional Delegation for differing outcomes. The BIA had prepared to distribute the funds, but now must wait for the Supreme Court's decision on the Kansas Delawares' request for a rehearing. The exclusion of the Kansas Delawares was a result of strict eligibility criteria established by the Oklahoma Delawares to prevent delays in fund distribution.
