![["Martha Delk wrote to U.S. Senator Dewey Bartlett in February 1974 seeking information on the Indian Nations Trails Bill and Cherokee Land Bill. She provided details about her Cherokee ancestors and expressed frustration at not receiving help in tracing her family history. Senator Bartlett responded in June 1974, enclosing information on the Indian Nations Trail Bill and explaining that the Cherokee Tribe had received a favorable judgment on a land bill resulting in a $3 million appropriation. He also mentioned ongoing discussions on the distribution of these funds."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201946%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201946-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Cherokee Land Bill and Indian Nations Trail Bill: A Letter from Senator Dewey F.
