![["Mrs. Mamie Stoddard Cumsey wrote to Senator Mike Monroney requesting assistance in reclaiming 1.5 acres of land that she believes she still owns. A lawsuit was filed against her in 1959 regarding this land, which was part of a larger parcel that had been sold to another individual. Mrs. Cumsey was unable to defend herself in court due to health issues and financial constraints. The Indian Bureau advised that the land in question was not taxable and did not belong to her. Despite Mrs. Cumsey's efforts to reclaim the land, it was determined that she did not have a legal claim to it."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_32_17_0000-Interior,%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Indians,%20C,%201963/CAC_CC_038_8_32_17_0008.pdf "Land Dispute: A Native American's Fight for Her Property Rights")

![["The Bureau of Indian Affairs received a letter from Congressman Tom Steed regarding the investment of tribal funds in Wewoka Plastics, Inc. The company is in need of working capital and the Bureau proposed a $20,000 investment from the tribe, with the community matching this amount.
