![["The document from W.W. Keeler, Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, to the Bureau of Indian Affairs requests that they assume responsibility for significant decisions regarding himself and another individual to avoid any perception of misuse of authority. Keeler wants the Bureau to scrutinize federal government programs to avoid criticism and ensure decisions are in the best interest of the Tribe. He also requests supervision for day-to-day decisions and plans to meet with the Bureau to discuss recommendations before the election."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201946%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201946-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0034_thumbnail.jpg "Bureau of Indian Affairs Oversight Request")

![["The trust led by Keeler, not the Cherokee tribe, owns Tsa-La-Gi Inn in Tahlequah. The trust was created to cut costs in construction through tax credits. Keeler signed the deed as principal chief and used the money for investments after per capita payments to tribal members. The trust, Jelanuno, also holds the property of the Cherokee Nation Historical Society and controls the Tsa-La-Gi Theater. The tribe and the public generally believe the tribe owns the properties, but legal documents show otherwise."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_30_14_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201973%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201973-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_14_0031_thumbnail.jpg "The Hidden Ownership of Tsa-La-Gi Inn")
