![["Various letters regarding the distribution of the Court of Claims award in favor of the Pawnee Tribe are discussed. Members of the tribe are requesting a per capita payment of the settlement rather than being enrolled in a program, and there is discussion of a cutoff date for distributing the funds. The Bureau of Indian Affairs authorizes a per capita payment of approximately $3,500 to enrolled members of the tribe. Congressman Carl Albert offers to assist with any issues related to the distribution of the award."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_47_60_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Pawnee,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_60_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Pawnee Tribe's Court of Claims Award Distribution Issue")
