The changes, initiated by Commissioner Loui's B. Bruce, aim to give more authority to tribes and eliminate paternalistic phrases from job descriptions.

Representative Ed Edmondson plans to consult with Oklahoma Indian leaders to gather their input on the changes."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_82_55_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Reorganization,%201970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_82_55_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Major Reorganization of Bureau of Indian Affairs Expected in Next 90 Days")
