![["The document is a letter written by the Oklahoma City Council of Choctaws, Inc. to Congressman John H. Camp, expressing their desire for the right to vote in fair popular elections for the chief of their Choctaw Tribe. They discuss how their tribal money has been controlled by appointed officials and express frustration with the lack of transparency and fairness in the selection process for tribal leaders. They also mention a bill that was passed in Congress allowing for the selection, rather than election, of tribal chiefs, and express concerns about the lack of democracy and fairness in this process. The letter calls for support in advocating for fair elections for the Choctaw Tribe."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_20_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20General%20Correspondence,%201969-1974/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_20_0022_thumbnail.jpg "\"Choctaw Tribe's Plea for Fair Voting Rights in 1971\"")
![["Congressman Carl Albert announced his plans to seek the enactment of three bills in the field of Indian affairs in the next Congress. The first bill aims to extend restrictions on members of the Five Civilized Tribes. The second bill will reopen the right to file claims before the Indian Claims Commission. The third bill seeks to promote the rehabilitation of members of the Five Civilized Tribes and other Indians of eastern Oklahoma. Albert emphasized the urgency of passing the first bill before the restrictions expire in April 1956 to avoid confusion and hardships for Oklahoma Indians. He also highlighted the importance of finishing the job of resolving outstanding claims through the Indian Claims Commission. Additionally, Albert hopes to get favorable consideration for the 1951 Stigler Bill in the next Congress."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Speeches%20and%20Press%20Releases,%201927-1976%20-%20CAC_CC_001_16_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_001_16_15_65_0000-Press%20Releases-Indian%20Affairs.%20March%2024,%201971/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_16_15_65_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Speaker Albert Admires Indian Painting by Solomon McCombs")
