![["Mrs. Ella C. Coate is seeking information about her enrollment in the Six Nations Confederacy, specifically as a member of the Stockbridge Indian Nation. Senator Mike Monroney has reached out to various agencies on her behalf, including the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Keshena Indian Agency. The agencies have stated that records pertaining to the Stockbridge Indians have been transferred to the Great Lakes Agency in Ashland, Wisconsin. Despite efforts to locate information, it is unlikely that records will reflect Mrs. Coate's enrollment with the Six Nations Confederacy. Mrs. Coate has provided an enrollment card and tax certificate as proof of her membership in the Confederacy. Senator Monroney is awaiting further information and will update Mrs. Coate once he receives a response."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_32_17_0000-Interior,%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Indians,%20C,%201963/CAC_CC_038_8_32_17_0003.pdf "Letters Concerning Mrs. Ella C.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs provided instructions for replacement of the bonds, suggesting that if they were Treasury Bonds, the loss should be reported to the Treasury Department in Chicago, and if they were issued by Menominee Enterprises, Inc., the matter should be taken up with that organization. Senator Monroney's office acknowledged the letter and promised to provide information on the replacement procedure. Violet Mae Wesho Foreman had received a $3,000 bond from the Menominee tribe, which was stolen in Chicago in 1961."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_32_19_0000-Interior,%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Indians,%20D-F,%201963/CAC_CC_038_8_32_19_0014.pdf "Stolen Treasury Bonds: Correspondence Regarding Recovery and Replacement")

![["Senator Henry Jackson has been working on Indian affairs for 33 years in Congress and believes there is no simple solution to the issues facing Native Americans. He has pushed for legislation to provide financial assistance and support for economic and industrial development for tribes. Jackson believes that Congress should focus on areas of special need for Indians and allow them to chart their own destiny. He has also worked on reforming the federal aid system for Indian education and land claim judgments. Jackson's influence on Indian problems has been considerable, and he believes that investing in key areas and allowing tribes to run their own programs is the best way to address their needs."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_9_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Health,%201973%20Feb.%20-%201978%20Sep.,%201973-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_9_0012_thumbnail.jpg "Senator Henry Jackson's Vision for Indian Affairs: Empowerment, Not Blueprint")

They believe that the Restoration Committee, not the Secretary, has the authority to prepare the roll and make interpretative rulings.
