![["The writer, a member of the Choctaw Tribe, challenges the negative portrayal of living conditions among the Five Civilized Tribes in Oklahoma as reported by the Indian Rights Association. After obtaining a copy of the report, the writer finds it to be more balanced than newspaper excerpts suggest, but criticizes the use of generalizations and discrepancies. The writer also notes differences in experiences among the various tribes, particularly the Cherokees who have had more contact with whites."]](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_13_74_0000-Interior%20Choctaw%20Chief%20Election%20Constituent%20Concern%20with%20Method%20of%20Selection%201952/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_13_74_0016_thumbnail.jpg "Challenging the Misrepresentation of Oklahoma's Five Civilized Tribes: A Response to Angie Debo's Report")
