![["The text is a petition from the National Advisory Committee of the Chickasaw Nation of Indians in Oklahoma, urging the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Interior, and other officials to appoint a Governor of the Chickasaw Nation as authorized by law, rather than through a convention. The committee argues that a convention would not accurately represent all Chickasaw Indians, and that the appointment of the Governor should remain within the authority of the Federal Government for the benefit of all Chickasaw citizens."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_32_18_0000-Interior,%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Indians,%20Chickasaw,%201963/CAC_CC_038_8_32_18_0022.pdf "Correspondence Regarding the Appointment of the Chickasaw Nation Governor, 1963")
![["The text is discussing the delay in appointing a new Governor of the Chickasaw Nation, with one candidate, E.B. Maytubby, being recommended by the Chickasaw Advisory Committee. Another candidate, Overton James, is also being considered, but it is argued that Maytubby would be a better choice due to his experience, location in Muskogee where most Chickasaw business is conducted, and overall efficiency. The letter urges the Secretary of the Interior to consider these factors in making the appointment."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_32_18_0000-Interior,%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Indians,%20Chickasaw,%201963/CAC_CC_038_8_32_18_0018.pdf "1963 Correspondence Regarding the Appointment of the Chickasaw Nation Governor")
![["The Department of the Interior announced the appointment of E. B. Maytubby to fill the unexpired term of his late nephew as Governor of the Chickasaw Indian Nation, and the designation of Overton James to serve a two-year term as Governor starting in October 1963. The President was empowered to appoint governors for the Five Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma, but this authority was delegated to the Secretary of the Interior in 1951. Governor Maytubby had served in the office since 1939 before passing away in February."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_32_18_0000-Interior,%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Indians,%20Chickasaw,%201963/CAC_CC_038_8_32_18_0021.pdf "1963 Chickasaw Indian Nation Governor Appointments Announced by Department of the Interior")
