![["The Creek Indians of Eastern Oklahoma are unhappy with the recent election of a tribal leader forced upon them by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. They feel cheated and manipulated, as the election process was flawed and many eligible voters were not able to participate. The chosen leader does not understand the language and is seen as easily manipulated. There are allegations of intimidation and irregularities in the election process. The Creek Indians feel powerless and unheard in the face of corruption and injustice."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_28_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Creek%20Nation,%201971%20Sept.%20-%201978%20June.,%201971-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_28_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Corruption and Controversy: The Creek Tribe's Unjust Inauguration")
![["The Committee on Tribal Revenue, Finances, and Resources met to recommend a plan for the use of funds appropriated in satisfaction of certain judgments. They proposed using the funds for the development of the Creek Nation Office Complex, revolving loans for education, consumer credit, welfare, tribal operations, tribal claims development, program development, land management, and economic development. The funds would be used in accordance with the Tribal Funds Fiscal Year Budget and all interest accounts would be included with the principle and invested to generate economic return for the Creek Nation."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_28_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Creek%20Nation,%201971%20Sept.%20-%201978%20June.,%201971-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_28_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Recommendations for Tribal Revenue and Resource Allocation: February 21, 1974")
![["The document includes an inter-office correspondence regarding a letter received from Thomas J. Ellison, Acting Area Director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Muskogee. The document discusses the cost of obtaining a transcript of a meeting and expresses frustration with the lack of personal involvement from the BIA. It also mentions a public hearing regarding the distribution of judgment funds awarded to the Creek Tribe by the Indian Claims Commission. The correspondence acknowledges receipt of a letter from Myrtle M. Brady and thanks her for her comments. The document also includes details about the plans proposed for the distribution of the judgment funds."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_28_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Creek%20Nation,%201971%20Sept.%20-%201978%20June.,%201971-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_28_0018_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Concerns Regarding Creek Indian Judgment Funds Distribution")
![["The document is a series of letters regarding Ben Brown's attempt to establish his ancestry as a Creek Indian. The Bureau of Indian Affairs and Muskogee Area Office have both stated that they cannot offer him recognition as a Creek Indian due to lack of sufficient proof of his Creek Indian blood. Senator Bartlett made an inquiry on his behalf but was unable to provide any hope of recognition. Brown's mother was half Seminole and half Creek, but only enrolled as a Seminole, making it difficult to establish his Creek Indian heritage. Brown is seeking help to clarify and establish his ancestry for potential benefits for his children."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_28_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Creek%20Nation,%201971%20Sept.%20-%201978%20June.,%201971-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_28_0026_thumbnail.jpg "Ancestry Inquiry for Ben Brown and Creek Tribe Recognition")
