- Description:
- The document discusses a resolution adopted by the Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma regarding Indian preference for employment in the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service. The Council rejects certain options mentioned in a letter from Commissioner Morris Thompson and supports a memorandum to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs dated October 1, 1975. The resolution was passed with a quorum of 23 voting members in favor. The Council emphasizes the importance of retaining the 1/4 degree blood requirement and establishing the same criteria for all Indians regardless of tribal affiliation.
