![["The document outlines a meeting held in 1972 regarding the misuse of Johnson-O'Malley (JOM) funds in Oklahoma schools, specifically in relation to education for Native American students. It was found that the funds were not being used as intended, and agreements were reached to cease negotiations on the FY 1973 State contract with the Bureau of Indian Affairs for JOM funds. A full review of the use of JOM funds in Oklahoma was agreed upon, and steps were taken to involve tribal Indian groups and individuals in the review process. Concerns were also raised about the expulsion of Indian students from public schools due to dress code conflicts, and the BIA pledged to seek ways to reinstate these students in schools."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/92nd%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_11_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_11_168_21A_0000-Interior%20-%20Departmental%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%201971-1972/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_11_168_21A_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Report on Alleged Misuse of Johnson-O'Malley Funds in Oklahoma and Agreements Reached at Pawnee Agency Meeting")
