![["The Ak-Chin Indian community is facing a critical water shortage that is threatening their only source of income from farming. They have sought assistance from Congress to implement promised water rights from 1912. Despite facing skepticism and challenges, the tribe has made strides towards self-sufficiency through their farming operation and community development. The success story of the Ak-Chin tribe is a testament to their perseverance and determination to overcome obstacles."]](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_0012_thumbnail.jpg "From Mud Huts to Prosperity: The Ak-Chin Indian Community's Success Story")

![["The memorandum discusses the distribution of judgment funds awarded to the Delaware Tribes in Oklahoma, specifically the exclusion of the Kansas Delawares from the distribution. The issue arose due to a lawsuit filed by the Kansas Delawares, leading to a Supreme Court decision that they were not entitled to share in the funds. Both the Oklahoma Delawares and the Kansas Delawares are seeking support from the Oklahoma Congressional Delegation for differing outcomes. The BIA had prepared to distribute the funds, but now must wait for the Supreme Court's decision on the Kansas Delawares' request for a rehearing. The exclusion of the Kansas Delawares was a result of strict eligibility criteria established by the Oklahoma Delawares to prevent delays in fund distribution. The memorandum also mentions upcoming meetings with tribal officials to discuss the issue further."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_36_10_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Senate%20Committee%20Memos,%201973%20Nov.%20-%201978%20June.,%201973-1978%20-%20NEW/thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_36_10_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Legal Dispute over the Distribution of the Delaware Judgment Funds: A Historical Overview")

The legislation requires a 90-day review period for regulations, with a concurrent resolution of disapproval needed to reject them.
