![["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."]](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_0005_thumbnail.jpg "\"Correspondence Regarding Cherokee Nation's Water Rights and Power Facilities\"")
![["Senator Dewey Bartlett has introduced two bills to distribute almost $1.8 million in previously appropriated funds to the Creek Indians of Oklahoma. One bill allocates $1,346,000 to be divided between the Creek Indians of Oklahoma and others east of the Mississippi River, while the other bill provides $450,000 to the Creek Nation of Oklahoma for approved purposes. These funds are to pay Creek claims stemming from 19th Century treaties with the federal government. The settlement offer was made to avoid further litigation on the issue of land value."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_28_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Creek%20Nation,%201971%20Sept.%20-%201978%20June.,%201971-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_28_0037_thumbnail.jpg "Legislation for Creek Funds Distribution")
![["The Cherokee tribe owns a section of the Arkansas River in Oklahoma that has been appraised at $15 million. The ownership of the river bed is in dispute and is the subject of litigation. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the tribes in 1970, but the matter still needs to be resolved by Congress. The appraisal includes land beneath the water, sand, gravel, and mineral resources. The Corps of Engineers is involved in the Arkansas River navigation project, which is also part of the dispute. The Cherokee tribe should be compensated for their river property according to their attorney."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201946%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201946-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Cherokee Tribe's $15 Million River Land Valuation")
