![["The document consists of a series of telegrams and letters regarding Senate Bill 1017, also known as Jackson's Indian Education Bill. Various individuals and organizations express concerns and requests for further study and revision of the bill, particularly Title II, due to potential negative impacts on Indian students in Oklahoma. The National Indian Education Association urges splitting the bill into two and passing Title I as written while further studying Title II. Senator Dewey Bartlett acknowledges the correspondence and assures careful consideration of the comments during the Committee reconsideration of S. 1017."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_33_10_0000-Indian%20Self-determination,%201953/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_10_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Concerns and Recommendations Regarding S. 1017")
![["The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians expresses general support for the Indian Self-Determination and Educational Reform Act, but is not satisfied with the provisions related to Indian educational reform. They believe that the focus should be on improving reservation-based schools operated by Indian tribes rather than subsidizing attendance at public schools. They also call for increased funding for Indian education programs and projects. They urge for modifications to the bill to ensure improvement in educational programs for Indians living on reservations."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_33_10_0000-Indian%20Self-determination,%201953/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_10_0017_thumbnail.jpg "Supporting Indian Self-Determination and Educational Reform: A Message to Congress")
