![["Senator Dewey Bartlett has introduced two bills to distribute almost $1.8 million in funds to the Creek Indians of Oklahoma. One bill calls for the distribution of $1,346,000 to be divided between the Creek Indians of Oklahoma and those east of the Mississippi River, while the other bill provides $450,000 to the Creek Nation of Oklahoma for approved purposes. The funds are to pay Creek claims from 19th Century treaties with the federal government. The larger fund will be distributed on a per capita basis for Creeks east of the Mississippi."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_28_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Creek%20Nation,%201971%20Sept.%20-%201978%20June.,%201971-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_28_0028_thumbnail.jpg "Legislation Introduced for Distribution of Creek Funds")

![["The document discusses the historical context of preferential hiring and promotion for Indian people in the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service. It highlights the conflict between non-Indian employees reaching a career dead-end and qualified Indian individuals waiting for promotional opportunities. To address this issue, a bill is introduced to revise retirement benefits for non-Indian employees, allowing them to retire earlier and creating more opportunities for qualified Indians to advance in their careers. The bill also outlines specific amendments to existing laws to support this initiative."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_8_61_29_0000-Tulsa%20Office%20Files,%20Indians,%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%201974,%201976/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_8_61_29_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Legislation for Promotional Equity: The Retirement Benefits Act")

![["The Cherokee tribe owns a section of the Arkansas River in Oklahoma that has been appraised at $15 million. The ownership of the river bed is in dispute and is the subject of litigation. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the tribes in 1970, but the matter still needs to be resolved by Congress. The appraisal includes land beneath the water, sand, gravel, and mineral resources.
