The changes, initiated by Commissioner Loui's B. Bruce, aim to give more authority to tribes and eliminate paternalistic phrases from job descriptions. The reorganization has been met with opposition from some tribal leaders and BIA officials. Representative Ed Edmondson plans to consult with Oklahoma Indian leaders to gather their input on the changes.
