![["Chief W. W. Keeler has taken full control of the Cherokee Nation's business affairs following the resignation of the executive business director. He plans to clear up the tribe's remaining debts and ensure the smooth continuation of various programs. Keeler withdrew his request for the Bureau of Indian Affairs to take over tribal operations. The tribe's loss in a housing and construction venture in 1974 was about $800,000, but Keeler stated that the tribe is not broke and has funds held in trust by the federal government. Keeler is not seeking re-election after serving as chief for 26 years."]](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_0030_thumbnail.jpg "Chief Keeler Takes Control of Cherokee Tribe's Business Affairs")
![["The document discusses the proceedings of a General Meeting held on April 20, 1974, where various proposals were made and voted on by tribal members.

The meeting also addressed the handling of oil and gas bonuses and funds from surrounding land. A special session of the Business Committee was held to set a date for examining ballot boxes and registration books."]](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_26_0001-Indian%20Affairs,%20Concho%20Indian%20School,%201974%20July%20-%201978%20Aug/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_26_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Resolution and Investigation of General Election of November 13, 1973")
![["Tribal issues were discussed at a recent Cheyenne-Arapaho Business Committee meeting, which ended in a close vote. There were concerns raised about the dismissal of three tribal employees and the allocation of revenues from an oil drilling agreement. A petition calling for a general tribal meeting was submitted, but some names were disputed. The Chairman expressed frustration with the lack of quorum at meetings and planned to schedule another meeting to address grievances."]](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_26_0001-Indian%20Affairs,%20Concho%20Indian%20School,%201974%20July%20-%201978%20Aug/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_26_0009_thumbnail.jpg "Tribal Issues and Elections: Updates from The Watonga Republican")
