![["The letter is from California Indian Legal Services to Congressman John N. Happy Camp regarding a dispute over the XL Ranch Indian Reservation in Modoc County, California. The Department of the Interior has recommended amending a bill to designate a specific group as the sole beneficiary of the reservation, instead of following the original bill's intent to hold the land in trust for the Pit River Indian bands designated by the Secretary of the Interior. The letter urges the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs to reject the proposed amendment and follow the original bill as introduced by Congressman Johnson. The letter also mentions ongoing legal proceedings and requests a fair hearing for the Pit River Indians involved in the dispute."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Pit%20River%20Indians%20Correspondence,%20Injunction,%20Background,%201969-1970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Letter to Congressman Regarding Pit River Indian Tribe Land Dispute")

![["The document is a letter written by the Oklahoma City Council of Choctaws, Inc. to Congressman John H. Camp, expressing their desire for the right to vote in fair popular elections for the chief of their Choctaw Tribe. They discuss how their tribal money has been controlled by appointed officials and express frustration with the lack of transparency and fairness in the selection process for tribal leaders. They also mention a bill that was passed in Congress allowing for the selection, rather than election, of tribal chiefs, and express concerns about the lack of democracy and fairness in this process. The letter calls for support in advocating for fair elections for the Choctaw Tribe."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_20_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20General%20Correspondence,%201969-1974/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_20_0022_thumbnail.jpg "\"Choctaw Tribe's Plea for Fair Voting Rights in 1971\"")
