![["The Department of the Interior has signed a contract to purchase 300,000 acres of coal and asphalt lands from the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian Nations in Oklahoma for $8.5 million. The lands contain high-grade bituminous coal and a large amount of coal reserves. The contract is subject to ratification by the Nations and Congress, and approval would end a 45-year federal trusteeship over the lands. The lands were originally reserved in 1902 but were never sold until now. The purchase price is considered full compensation for the Nations' interest in the properties."]](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_1_82_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Coal%20and%20Asphalt%20Lands,%201947/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_1_82_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Purchase of Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian Nations' Coal and Asphalt Lands")

![["The document is a letter from the President of the Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes to Congressman Glen English, requesting an amendment to the revenue sharing law. The amendment would base the revenue sharing funds for each tribe on the resident Indian population in their service area, rather than on taxes levied by local governments. The document emphasizes that tribal governments are obligated to provide services to all Indians regardless of where they live, and should not be impacted by local tax levies. The resolution was unanimously adopted by the Council during their quarterly session."]](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_140_37_0000%20--%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20General,%201976/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_140_37_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Resolution for Amending Revenue Sharing Law: Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes")

![["The Indian Action Team Program was initiated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1974 to provide skills training and support tribal businesses on reservations. The program is designed to help tribes develop capabilities and management skills, with a focus on job training and development.

The program is administered through Buy-Indian contracting, with tribes responsible for meeting program objectives.
