![["Senator Dewey F. Bartlett received a letter from Betty J. Brown suggesting a procedure to streamline the documentation process for voting rights in Five Tribes elections. Brown believes that individuals reinstated to the Dawes Commission Rolls should be allowed voting rights without having to provide extensive documentation. Bartlett forwarded the letter to Thomas J. Ellison for his views and opinions on the matter. Ellison, the Area Director of the Muskogee Area Bureau of Indian Affairs, is requested to provide input on the suggested procedure."]](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_14_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201973%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201973-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_14_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Voting Rights and Procedures in Five Tribes Elections")
![["The document from Ms. Betty J. Brown to Senator Dewey F. Bartlett discusses the need for a compilation by the Muskogee Area Office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs listing all persons in the Five Civilized Tribes who were reinstated to the Dawes Commission Rolls. This would allow these individuals and their descendants to have voting rights without having to provide extensive documentation to Election Committees. Senator Bartlett requests the views and opinions of Mr. Thomas J. Ellison on this suggestion. Additionally, there is a letter from Eric H. Bohannon, Chairman of the Choctaw Election Committee, informing Ms. Brown that she will not be able to vote in the current election but will be included in the absentee mailing list for a potential run-off election."]](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_14_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201973%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201973-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_14_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Proposal for Simplified Voting Rights Documentation in Five Tribes Elections")
![["The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians expresses general support for the Indian Self-Determination and Educational Reform Act, but is not satisfied with the provisions related to Indian educational reform. They believe that the focus should be on improving reservation-based schools operated by Indian tribes rather than subsidizing attendance at public schools. They also call for increased funding for Indian education programs and projects. They urge for modifications to the bill to ensure improvement in educational programs for Indians living on reservations."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_33_10_0000-Indian%20Self-determination,%201953/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_33_10_0017_thumbnail.jpg "Supporting Indian Self-Determination and Educational Reform: A Message to Congress")
