![["Senator Dewey Bartlett has introduced two bills to distribute almost $1.8 million in previously appropriated funds to the Creek Indians of Oklahoma. One bill allocates $1,346,000 to be divided between the Creek Indians of Oklahoma and others east of the Mississippi River, while the other bill provides $450,000 to the Creek Nation of Oklahoma for approved purposes. These funds are to pay Creek claims stemming from 19th Century treaties with the federal government. The settlement offer was made to avoid further litigation on the issue of land value."]](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_0037_thumbnail.jpg "Legislation for Creek Funds Distribution")

The tapes are aimed at teaching Cherokee language to those with a heritage in it, as well as those who are interested in learning.

Prentice Robinson, along with his wife Wilena, have worked on this project since 1974, with Wilena helping to keep their children away from the recording studio. In addition to teaching, Prentice has taken up wood carving as a hobby.
