The letter states that the Wyandotte Tribe has six cases pending before the Indian Claims Commission for fair payment for lands ceded under various treaties. The cases are complex as other tribes also ceded lands under the same treaties, and no decision has been made yet defining the areas ceded by the Wyandotte Tribe. The Bureau regrets that they cannot provide a more favorable response and returns Mrs. Cotter's letter."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_41_14_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201966/thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_41_14_0022_thumbnail.jpg "1966 Correspondence Regarding Wyandotte Tribe's Land Claims")

![["The writer, Sim L. Liles, is bringing to the attention of government officials a case of what appears to be injustice and bungling by a government agency involving an elderly man, John Johnson, who inherited a share of his deceased wife's estate. Despite being unable to read or write, Johnson was presented with a contract allegedly signed by him and a lawyer, Ed R. LeForce, under suspicious circumstances. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has been insistent on upholding the contract, preventing Johnson from obtaining legal counsel. The writer urges for an investigation into the situation and asserts that Johnson will not yield to the fraudulent demands being made.
