![["A letter from the Pawnee Indians of Oklahoma to Senator Dewey F. Bartlett expressing disapproval of the recent court decision naming Austin Realrider as Chairman of the Pawnee Indian Business Council. The tribe feels that the council does not represent their interests and has violated the Tribal Constitution and By-laws. They are calling for a re-election of the Council. The document also mentions an ongoing dispute within the tribe, involving allegations of pipe hoarding and black-market activities among council members. A court ruling by United States District Judge Fred Daugherty names Austin Realrider as the president of the council, voiding a previous ruling that designated Thomas Chapin Jr. as president. The document also mentions concerns about fair distribution of pipe among oil companies."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_003_2_31_22_0023.jpg "Tribal Dispute: Pawnee Indians' Letter to Senator Dewey F. Bartlett")
