![["The Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma are protesting against the Bureau of Indian Affairs for negotiating a contract for the operation of Concho School without the approval of the Tribal Council. They claim that this violates their Constitution and the spirit of Public Law #93-638, which was intended to give Indian people control over their affairs. The Tribal Council is seeking support to ensure that they have a say in the management of their own affairs and to prevent violations of their rights."]](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_26_0001-Indian%20Affairs,%20Concho%20Indian%20School,%201974%20July%20-%201978%20Aug/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_26_0017_thumbnail.jpg "Violation of Tribal Rights: The Battle for Self-Determination")
![["The Army has advised the Cherokee tribe's attorneys that they will follow standard procedure in settling the question of compensation for the taking of the Arkansas River bed. The downstream portion of the riverbed is still in litigation between different tribes. Expert appraisers have estimated the total damage to be $42,494,536.40. The Army's general counsel will prepare a report for submission to the comptroller general, who will then decide whether a Certificate of Settlement should be issued for payment by Congress. The Cherokee attorneys acknowledged the government's honest mistake regarding ownership of the riverbed."]](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_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Settlement Process for Cherokee Compensation for Arkansas Riverbed")
![["The memo discusses the appointment of Silas Henard as the Area Officer of the Oklahoma City Indian Health office, despite the recent Supreme Court decision giving preference to Indians in all appointments within the Bureau of Indians. The memo also mentions that there are qualified Indian candidates who could have been appointed to the position. Senator Bellmon had previously indicated that Indians would be given priority in promotions and appointments within the Bureau. Additionally, a memo clarifies that Silas Henard is the Acting Executive Officer, not the Area Director."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_9_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Health,%201973%20Feb.%20-%201978%20Sep.,%201973-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_9_0032_thumbnail.jpg "Memo Regarding Appointment of Non-Indigenous Area Officer Contrary to Supreme Court Decision")
