![["The text discusses Senator Nelson's Indian land grab bill 2498, which aims to take land from various Indian reservations in Wisconsin for conservation purposes. The Chippewa and Woodland Indians of Wisconsin are concerned about the impact this bill will have on their heritage and rights. They argue that the Department of Interior has already taken a significant amount of Indian land in the state, leaving them with limited space for burial and future generations. They urge the Senate to defeat the bill and respect their treaties and rights to the sacred earth."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_41_15_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201966/thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_41_15_0034_thumbnail.jpg "An Appeal Against Indian Land Grab: The Dispute over Wisconsin Senator Nelson's Bill 2498")
![["The document contains a letter from Earl Bey Pierce to Ed Edmondson discussing the matter of the Chilocco School property. Pierce explains that the Cherokee people desperately need the property and have been without its use for many years. He says that they would be willing to accept less than the full value of the property if it is not possible to obtain it all. Pierce also discusses the loss of the mineral rights to the property, saying that it is a difficult concession to make but that the Cherokee people are willing to accept it if it means they can keep the property."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_80_14_0000-Legislation,%20S.%201848,%20Land%20Held%20in%20Trust%20for%20Cherokee%20Nation,%201967/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_80_14_0006_thumbnail.jpg "The Senate and House Disagree on the Chilocco Bill")
