![["The document discusses a Federal Trade Commission study that criticizes the Bureau of Indian Affairs for failing to protect Indian interests in dealing with energy companies leasing tribal lands. The study recommends that the BIA improve its collection of rents and royalties owed to tribes, encourage joint participation of Indians and energy companies in developing tribal mineral resources, and train Indians to handle their own leasing decisions. Additionally, the text includes an application form for Cherokee Nation members to register to vote, which requires certification from the Bureau of Indian Affairs."]](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_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Protecting Indian Interests: The BIA's Failures and Recommendations for Change")
