![["The text is a letter written by Sen Fred Harris, who is trying to help the Native American Indians in Oklahoma . He has been in Anadarko for the past two years and is requesting the Church Headquarters to build a church for the Indian people. He has not received a response from the Church since 1965. Harris expresses his frustration at the lack of support for the Native American community and mentions that the Indian agency is not interested in building schools or churches. He also includes a list of names of Indians who have signed a petition asking for help to build a new church in Anadarko. Harris ends the letter by thanking the recipient in advance for any consideration."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_41_14_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201966/thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_41_14_0033_thumbnail.jpg "An Appeal for Support to Build a Church for the Indigenous Community in Anadarko, Oklahoma")

He serves on the House of Representatives' Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, and is the chairman of the subcommittee on Mines and Mining. He is pushing for the passage of the Chilocco bill, which would provide funding for the Cherokee Nation. However, due to changes made by the Senate and the upcoming Labor Day recess, he does not expect the bill to pass until September."]](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_0001_thumbnail.jpg "An Ongoing Conversation: Indian Affairs and Collaboration")
