Senator Thomas expresses doubt about the effectiveness of incorporation in securing land, as many tribes are facing challenges with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Senator Thomas promises to assist in any way possible and advises Pumpkin to seek recommendations from the Indian Office before introducing a bill in Congress. Pumpkin seeks advice on the timing of their trip to Washington and the benefits of securing a charter for the society."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20William%20Elmer%20Thomas%20Collection/CAC_CC_053_12_11_1_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Miscellaneous,%20Mar.-Dec.,%201945/Thumbnails/CACC_CC_053_12_11_1_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Seven Clan Society's Land Rights and Incorporation Efforts in 1945")
