![["The author is interested in Indian education and mentions three Indian boarding schools in their district - Wheelock, Carter, and Jones Academy. These schools provide education opportunities for young boys and girls of Indian descent, many of whom come from remote areas, are orphans, or come from broken homes. The author also mentions the Indian Goodland Orphanage in their district, which they have visited and received a photo of a girls' chorus. The author is grateful for the financial aid provided to the orphanage by the Federal government and praises the Presbyterian Church for their work among the Indian population in Oklahoma. Additionally, there are day schools operated by the Indian Bureau in the district for areas without State schools, and the Federal government provides tuition payments for Indian children attending local and State schools."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_001_16_4_153_0009.jpg "Proposed Legislation to Eliminate Second Class Citizenship and Preserve Rights")

![["Mr. Lona Paul is in dire need of help and has reached out to Honorable Carl Albert for information regarding the Choctaw settlement. The Bureau of Indian Affairs in Muskogee has provided information stating that it may take some time, possibly years, before the settlement is made. The Act of August 25, 1959, authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to sell Choctaw tribal lands and distribute funds, but no decision has been made yet on the distribution of funds. The formation of a corporate entity under Oklahoma State Law is under consideration, with a deadline of August 25, 1965. Mr. Paul is anxious about the settlement and is seeking information on when they will receive their share."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_001_4_47_53_0007.jpg "Update on Choctaw Settlement Status")

The continuation of health services for non-Indian widows will be limited to those whose husbands were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes and who have not remarried."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_001_4_47_55_0002.jpg "Expansion of Medical Services for Non-Indian Widows of Five Civilized Tribes Members")
![["The Sand Creek Descendants Association is urging the payment of indemnities to the descendants of Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians who suffered in the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864.

![["The document from John Brown, Chairman of the General Council of the Seminole Tribe, to Honorable Carl Albert, discusses the need for Indian tribes in Oklahoma to be able to participate in the low-rent housing program under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. The document recommends specific amendments to the Act that would allow Indian tribes to establish housing agencies and participate in the program. It highlights the unfair exclusion of Oklahoma Indian tribes from the program and the obstacles faced in trying to overcome this exclusion through state legislation. The document emphasizes the urgent need for action to address the housing needs of low-income Indian families in Oklahoma."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_001_4_47_62_0001.jpg "Expanding Low-Rent Housing Program for Indian Tribes in Oklahoma")
