![["The document is a letter from the Bureau of Indian Affairs regarding the approval of proposed regulations for the selection of principal tribal officials by members of the Five Civilized Tribes. The document outlines the criteria considered essential for the democratic selection of these officials, including qualifications for candidates, voter residency restrictions, and the inclusion of freedmen citizens in voter qualifications. It emphasizes that the Act of October 22, 1970 did not affect the Act of April 26, 1906, other than changing the manner of selection of tribal officials."]](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_91_46_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Tribal%20Elections,%201971/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_91_46_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Support for Secretary Morton's Appointments - Tribal Leaders Stand Firm")

The Office of the Secretary of the Interior confirms that fair and equitable requirements for candidates can be set by the tribal members, and that Creek freedmen are entitled to vote in the selection of the principal chief. It emphasizes the historical legal position that freedmen have the same privileges in tribal affairs as Indian citizens by blood."]](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_91_46_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Tribal%20Elections,%201971/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_91_46_0009_thumbnail.jpg "Choctaw Chief Candidate Challenges Age Limit")
![["David Gardner, a candidate for Choctaw Chief, criticized the age limit of 35 for candidates, calling it arbitrary and unfair. He argued that the limit was established to prevent younger candidates like himself from running for the position. Gardner's opponent, Harry J. W. Belvin, supported the age limit and believed that younger candidates were not mature enough to lead. The dispute over the age limit was a result of election procedures established by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Gardner planned to challenge the regulation."]](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_91_46_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Tribal%20Elections,%201971/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_91_46_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Update on Choctaw Elections and Creek Problem: Call from Wilma Victor")
