![["Mrs. Gladys Byrnes from Shreveport, Louisiana, is requesting a per capita distribution of funds belonging to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs is considering a \"family plan\" program for distributing a portion of each individual's share, with the remainder distributed in a per capita payment. Representative Carl Albert is sympathetic to Mrs. Byrnes' desire for fair distribution and will continue to advocate for it. The use of judgment funds is subject to approval by and the enactment of legislation authorizing the use of the funds."]](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_63_43_0000-Interior-Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs-Cheyenne-Arapaho,%201967/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_63_43_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Per Capita Distribution of Cheyenne and Arapaho Judgment Award")
![["The document is a letter from Fred R. Harris, a U.S. Senator, thanking Carroll M. Ridgway for sending information about the St. Labre Indian School, which is focused on providing opportunities for Native American students to advance and improve themselves rather than relying on charity. The school has made significant progress in addressing poverty and providing education and job opportunities for the Northern Cheyenne tribe. The school is now seeking support to establish a trade school to further train young people and address the high unemployment rate on the reservation."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_197_3_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Education,%20Indian%20Schools,%201970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_197_3_018_thumbnail.jpg "St. Labre Indian School: Providing Opportunities, Not Charity")
