![["Mr. Carnes received a letter from Congressman Carl Albert regarding the money appropriated by Congress for members of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Tribes for the sale of their coal lands.

Mr. Carnes expressed concerns about proving heirship in death claims and the need for lawyers, but Congressman Albert assured him that the process would be taken care of by the Indian Office."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/James%20R.%20Jones%20Collection/James%20R.%20Jones%20Departmental%20Series,%201968-1986/CAC_CC_001_4_6_63_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Choctaw%20and%20Chickasaw%20Indians,%201949/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_6_63_0012_thumbnail.jpg "Settlement of Choctaw and Chickasaw Tribal Land Claims")

![["The document is a letter from Elmer Thomas to H.E. Choc Wilkes regarding matters relating to the Five Civilized Tribes. It discusses a meeting in Muskogee to outline relief efforts for distressed Indians, criticizing the long-term plan as perpetuating past policies and advocating for the closure of Indian schools in favor of public schools. It questions the authority of the Indian Bureau and advocates for giving Indians freedom and opportunities to become self-sufficient and regain their honor. Additionally, it criticizes the portrayal of Indians in media and calls for an end to the negative stereotypes. The document encourages Indians to not be misled by propaganda and asserts that they can thrive without the aid of the Indian office."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20William%20Elmer%20Thomas%20Collection/CAC_CC_053_3_82_55_0000-Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Committee%20on,%20Indian%20Affairs,%20Alaskan%20Settlement%20Claims,%201948-1949,%201950/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_053_3_82_55_0005_thumbnail.jpg "The Deception of the Indian Bureau: A Call for Freedom and Equality")
