![["The document discusses the requirement to print Cherokee ballots for elections in Tulsa due to a federal law, even though there are few Cherokee speakers who cannot read English. It argues that this law is a waste of money and could lead to legal challenges. Additionally, an invitation to a groundbreaking ceremony for an industrial park in Adair County is included."]](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_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201946%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201946-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0024_thumbnail.jpg "The Legal and Cultural Implications of Bilingual Voting in Cherokee Communities")

![["The Cherokees will vote on a tribal constitution soon, regardless of who wins the election for chief. The proposed constitution includes an elected tribal council and aims to limit the chief's power. Concerns have been raised that an amendment granting the chief veto power over the council could consolidate power in the chief's hands. Cherokee debts from a previous venture are also a major concern."]](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_0029_thumbnail.jpg "Cherokees to Vote on Tribal Constitution")
