![["The Cherokees, Choctaws, and Chickasaws are in a dispute over ownership of the Arkansas River bed. After two months of disagreement, the tribes have reached a compromise on procedural issues, including a minor change in the bill's wording. The bill, introduced by Representative Steed, has been delayed due to opposition from the Cherokees. The tribes claim ownership of the northern half of the Arkansas River bed, and the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the tribes. The state of Oklahoma has appealed this ruling. The Choctaws and Chickasaws are pushing for quick passage of a bill allowing a lawsuit between the tribes to resolve the issue."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_100_24_0000%20--%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Arkansas%20Riverbed,%201972/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_100_24_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Settlement Progress in Arkansas River Dispute")
