![["The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, one of the Five Civilized Tribes, is making strides in government and industrial development to improve the quality of life for its people. They have a democratic tribal government and are focused on economic development through industry on Cherokee lands. The tribe has a history of resilience, including the Trail of Tears, establishment of a constitution, and achievements in education and agriculture. The Cherokee Nation owns tribal trust and government lease lands, used for grazing and some crops, with plans for development in two designated areas. Contacts for inquiries about Cherokee lands are provided."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201946%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201946-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0001_thumbnail.jpg "The Progress and Promise of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma")
![["The document proposes the usage of Cherokee judgment funds from the Indian Claims Commission to be set aside in an interest-bearing account, with a per-capita payment made to living original allottees. The interest from the funds would be used to finance a comprehensive tribal economic program to improve the standard of living for Cherokees. The document also outlines a proposed Tribal Lending Program and other development initiatives such as industrial development, healthcare, education, and cooperative programs. The plan emphasizes the importance of not spending the principal funds and ensuring proper management through audits and financial reports. The goal is to bring benefits to all Cherokee tribal members and establish a permanent policy for utilizing future settlement 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_30_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201946%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201946-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0007_thumbnail.jpg "A Path to Prosperity: Utilizing Cherokee Judgment Funds for Economic Development and Tribal Programs")
![["The Cherokee Nation successfully petitioned the Indian Claims Commission for a settlement of $14,364,476.15 for land ceded in 1893. The attorneys representing the Cherokee tribe requested a fee of ten percent of the award, but the Commission determined that a fee of $1,000,000 or seven percent of the recovery was fair and adequate. The case involved determining the fair market value of the ceded land and the attorneys provided detailed information on the services they rendered in prosecuting the claim. One attorney, Earl Boyd Pierce, was primarily responsible for keeping the tribe informed and involved in the litigation process. Pierce spent a significant amount of time corresponding with and meeting with tribal members to update them on the progress of the claim."]](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_47_46_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission-Cherokee,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_46_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Cherokee Nation v.

![["Martha Delk wrote to U.S. Senator Dewey Bartlett in February 1974 seeking information on the Indian Nations Trails Bill and Cherokee Land Bill. She provided details about her Cherokee ancestors and expressed frustration at not receiving help in tracing her family history. Senator Bartlett responded in June 1974, enclosing information on the Indian Nations Trail Bill and explaining that the Cherokee Tribe had received a favorable judgment on a land bill resulting in a $3 million appropriation. He also mentioned ongoing discussions on the distribution of these 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_30_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201946%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201946-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Cherokee Land Bill and Indian Nations Trail Bill: A Letter from Senator Dewey F.
