![["The document discusses opinions and memorandums regarding tribal jurisdiction on trust lands in Western Oklahoma, specifically for the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes and the Absentee Shawnee Tribe. The Assistant Solicitor's opinion holds that the trust allotments in the former Oklahoma territory are considered Indian country for tribal and Federal jurisdiction. The document also mentions funding implications and the eligibility of the tribes for LEAA funds. The conclusion is that both tribes possess law enforcement authorities and may be certified as eligible for LEAA grants."]](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_10_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Senate%20Committee%20Memos,%201973%20Nov.%20-%201978%20June.,%201973-1978%20-%20NEW/thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_36_10_0026_thumbnail.jpg "1978 Senate Committee Memorandum on Tribal Jurisdiction in Western Oklahoma")

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.
