- Description:
- The document is a letter requesting the United States Civil Service Commission to consider changing the definition of "Indian" for the purpose of implementing a preference in employment for Indians. The current definition is based on a quarter-degree standard, but there is a discrepancy with the statutory definition established by the Indian Reorganization Act. The document argues that the current definition deprives some individuals of their rights conferred by law, and proposes a modified definition that aligns with the Act.
