![["The document is a letter written by the Oklahoma City Council of Choctaws, Inc. to Congressman John H. Camp, expressing their desire for the right to vote in fair popular elections for the chief of their Choctaw Tribe. They discuss how their tribal money has been controlled by appointed officials and express frustration with the lack of transparency and fairness in the selection process for tribal leaders. They also mention a bill that was passed in Congress allowing for the selection, rather than election, of tribal chiefs, and express concerns about the lack of democracy and fairness in this process. The letter calls for support in advocating for fair elections for the Choctaw Tribe."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_20_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20General%20Correspondence,%201969-1974/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_20_0022_thumbnail.jpg "\"Choctaw Tribe's Plea for Fair Voting Rights in 1971\"")
