We hire according to the Indian Preference Law and EEO: The Indian Preference Law and Indian Preference Policy of the Indian Health Service have evolved from the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 and various authorities under the United States Code and Code of Federal Regulations. The intent of the United States Congress was to facilitate the Indian self-government. The United States Supreme Court has held that the Indian Preference Law does not constitute harmful racial discrimination or violate the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment, but is reasonable and rationally designed to further Indian self-government. The Indian Preference Law is a distinct statute that does not violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.
