![["The document is a letter from Willie Hail, Chairman of the Indians of Western Oklahoma, to Honorable Carl Albert, requesting an amendment to the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 to allow Indian Tribes in Oklahoma to establish public housing agencies. The resolution was passed unanimously by Tribal Representatives from various tribes in Oklahoma. They seek financial aid for better housing for low-income Indian families."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_001_4_47_56_0001.jpg "Advocating for Housing Rights: The Push for Amending the U.S. Housing Act of 1937")
![["Various letters regarding the distribution of the Court of Claims award in favor of the Pawnee Tribe are discussed. Members of the tribe are requesting a per capita payment of the settlement rather than being enrolled in a program, and there is discussion of a cutoff date for distributing the funds. The Bureau of Indian Affairs authorizes a per capita payment of approximately $3,500 to enrolled members of the tribe. Congressman Carl Albert offers to assist with any issues related to the distribution of the award."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_001_4_47_60_0001.jpg "Pawnee Tribe's Court of Claims Award Distribution Issue")
