![["The trust led by Keeler, not the Cherokee tribe, owns Tsa-La-Gi Inn in Tahlequah. The trust was created to cut costs in construction through tax credits. Keeler signed the deed as principal chief and used the money for investments after per capita payments to tribal members. The trust, Jelanuno, also holds the property of the Cherokee Nation Historical Society and controls the Tsa-La-Gi Theater. The tribe and the public generally believe the tribe owns the properties, but legal documents show otherwise."]](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_0031_thumbnail.jpg "The Hidden Ownership of Tsa-La-Gi Inn")
