![["The article discusses a loss of $850,000 by the Cherokee tribe in Oklahoma, potentially due to mismanagement in a housing venture. Candidates are seeking housing data and pushing for transparency before the upcoming election on August 2. There are concerns about the influence of the current chief, W.W. Keeler, and the strong campaign by Ross O. Swimmer, who is endorsed by Keeler. The candidates are also questioning the fairness of the election process and absentee voting procedures."]](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_14_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201973%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201973-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_14_0027_thumbnail.jpg "Tribal Turmoil: Cherokee Candidates Seek Housing Data")
![["The trust led by Keeler, not the Cherokee tribe, owns Tsa-La-Gi Inn in Tahlequah. The trust was created to cut costs in construction through tax credits. Keeler signed the deed as principal chief and used the money for investments after per capita payments to tribal members. The trust, Jelanuno, also holds the property of the Cherokee Nation Historical Society and controls the Tsa-La-Gi Theater. The tribe and the public generally believe the tribe owns the properties, but legal documents show otherwise."]](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_14_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201973%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201973-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_14_0031_thumbnail.jpg "The Hidden Ownership of Tsa-La-Gi Inn")
![["The document is congratulating W. W. Keeler on his retirement as Chief of the Cherokees after leading the tribe for twenty-six years. It acknowledges his efforts in improving the social and economic status of the Cherokees and expresses regret for not being able to attend his retirement dinner. The document also offers future assistance and congratulations for a job well done."]](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_14_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201973%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201973-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_14_0017_thumbnail.jpg "Congratulations on Your Retirement, Chief Keeler")
