Revising Policies for Funding Indian Tribes and Nations, 1975-06-09

The document is a series of letters regarding the issue of Indian education and tuition payments in Oklahoma. Mr. Heiskell expresses his concerns and seeks assistance from Congressman Lyle H. Boren. Boren communicates with Mr. Beatty from the Office of Indian Affairs about the issue. The Indian Affairs office in Muskogee also responds to Heiskell's letter, explaining their limitations in determining which schools Indian children attend. The letters emphasize the need for clarification on the use of Federal Indian tuition and the importance of ensuring that Indian children attend local schools in their home districts.
