![["The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare has decided that non-Indian widows of deceased beneficiaries of the Indian health program who were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes should continue to receive medical services on the same basis as other beneficiaries. This decision is based on the long-standing dependency of the group on these services and the minimal impact on other Indian beneficiaries. The continuation of health services is limited to widows whose husbands were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes and who have not remarried. The decision was made after a thorough study and additional information provided by Chief Belvin. The Oklahoma Area Office has been instructed to implement this policy immediately."]](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_47_36_0000-Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare-Public%20Health%20Service-Indian%20Health,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_36_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Continuation of Health Services for Non-Indian Widows of Deceased Five Civilized Tribes Members")

![["The Cherokee Nation successfully petitioned the Indian Claims Commission for a settlement of $14,364,476.15 for land ceded in 1893. The attorneys representing the Cherokee tribe requested a fee of ten percent of the award, but the Commission determined that a fee of $1,000,000 or seven percent of the recovery was fair and adequate. The case involved determining the fair market value of the ceded land and the attorneys provided detailed information on the services they rendered in prosecuting the claim. One attorney, Earl Boyd Pierce, was primarily responsible for keeping the tribe informed and involved in the litigation process. Pierce spent a significant amount of time corresponding with and meeting with tribal members to update them on the progress of the claim."]](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_47_46_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission-Cherokee,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_46_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Cherokee Nation v.

![["In this text, T. Harold Scott, Associate Commissioner, dissents from the majority opinion of the Commission regarding attorney fees for the Cherokee Tribe of Indians. He believes that a 6.96% fee is unreasonably low and discriminatory, advocating for a 10% fee instead. He also references previous cases and legal precedents to support his argument. Additionally, he discusses the involvement of Solicitor Frank J. Barry of the Interior Department in advising on the contract and highlights the differences in fee awards for similar cases."]](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_47_46_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission-Cherokee,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_46_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Dissenting Opinion on Attorney Fees in Indian Claims Commission Case")
