![["The document consists of a series of letters regarding a matter concerning the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache Tribes. The documents discuss the legality of certain elections and decisions made by the tribes' Business Committee, as well as concerns about separation issues and the lack of proper representation of the tribes' interests. The Kiowa Progressive Organization expresses opposition to the dissolution of the tribes' affiliation and questions the methods used by the Business Committee. They also appeal for a postponement of tribal elections and raise concerns about the economic impact of the separation. The documents are addressed to various officials and government representatives for further action and consideration."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/85th%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_4_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_4_30_27B_0000-Interior%20-%20Departmental%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%201957-1958/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_4_30_27B_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache Tribes' Internal Affairs, 1958")
