![["The Principal Chief of the Creek Nation of Indians in Oklahoma expresses appreciation for efforts to create an Indian Claims Commission to settle claims against the United States. He believes that the current court system is insufficient to address these claims due to technicalities and moral considerations. The Chief recommends the establishment of an Indian Claims Commission to settle claims based on moral considerations, rather than just legal and equitable grounds. He outlines the need for a fair and flexible process to address these claims and highlights specific claims that remain unresolved."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_54_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_54_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Advocating for the Establishment of an Indian Claims Commission: A Letter from Chief Roly Canard of the Creek Nation")
![["The text is a series of letters and resolutions regarding the transfer of 80 acres of land formerly owned by George Jones, a Creek Indian, to his heirs. The land was initially conveyed to the United States in trust for Adam Jones, George's son, but the Creek Tribe now wishes to transfer the title to his heirs. However, there is currently no authority for the sale or disposal of the land, and the only way to transfer the title would be through legislation. The resolution and proposed bill are enclosed with the letters for consideration."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_32_20_0000-Interior,%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Indians,%20G-L,%201963/CAC_CC_038_8_32_20_0039.pdf "Transfer of Land Ownership from Creek Indian to Heirs: A Legislation Request")
