Scope and Contents

The document is a series of letters regarding James G. Jackson's inquiry about a teaching position in the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Deputy Commissioner explains that there are limited openings for teachers due to reduced turnover rates and the national job market conditions. Preference is given to individuals of one-fourth degree or more of Indian blood, but qualified non-Indians are also considered. Senator Fred R. Harris is asked to consider providing assistance to Jackson in finding a job. Another letter from Harris inquires about financial assistance for Indian law students at the American Indian Law Center.
