![["The letter is discussing water rights owned by American Indian Tribes, specifically the Cherokees, and the potential threat to these rights posed by the Grand River Dam Authority's plan to purchase power facilities on the Arkansas River. The letter requests advice and assistance from attorney Bill Veeter, who has expertise in water rights, in order to safeguard the Cherokees' ownership of these rights. The letter also mentions the United States' obligation to protect and develop property rights for the tribes, as well as the need for further discussions and information on the Eagle River Case from Colorado."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_009_2_67_20_0005.jpg "\"Correspondence Regarding Cherokee Nation's Water Rights and Power Facilities\"")
![["The Choctaw-Chickasaw Alliance passed a resolution opposing the appointment of Thomas J. Ellison as Area Director of the B.I.A. Muskogee Area Office. They believe Ellison does not support their efforts to protect tribal land and water rights. They are requesting support from Congressman John N. Happy Camp to appoint someone outside the Muskogee Area Office to the position. Congressman Camp thanked them for the information and assured them it will be passed on to the right place."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_009_1_26_14_0005.jpg "Supporting Indian Self-Determination and Educational Reform: A Message to Congress")
