![["The document from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to Mrs. Marcell Freeman addresses her concerns about damages to her property near Webb City. The Bureau states that she has already been compensated for location fees and allowances through the Osage Agency. The damages she is concerned about were incurred during road construction in 1955, and it is believed that the owner of the construction company paid for these damages. The Bureau expresses regret that the record is vague and doubts that a new settlement could be obtained after so many years."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_41_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201966/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_41_13_0039_thumbnail.jpg "Investigation into Alleged Misconduct at Indian Agency in Anadarko")

The Concho Agency is working with the Blaine County Development Foundation to address this issue, and social workers are investigating cases of child neglect in Canton. The Bureau staff are willing to collaborate with local and State agencies to address the problem of neglected Indian children in Oklahoma communities.
