![["The Principal Chief of the Creek Nation of Indians in Oklahoma expresses appreciation for efforts to create an Indian Claims Commission to settle claims against the United States. He believes that the current court system is insufficient to address these claims due to technicalities and moral considerations. The Chief recommends the establishment of an Indian Claims Commission to settle claims based on moral considerations, rather than just legal and equitable grounds. He outlines the need for a fair and flexible process to address these claims and highlights specific claims that remain unresolved."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_54_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_54_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Advocating for the Establishment of an Indian Claims Commission: A Letter from Chief Roly Canard of the Creek Nation")
![["The document discusses the Indian Claims Commission Bill and the opposition to it. The writer, Mrs. Scott, expresses her disagreement with creating a new government agency for Indian affairs and believes that settling claims should be done without the need for a new commission. She also mentions the different approaches of the Republican and Democratic parties to Indian claims settlement. The Congressman, George B. Schwabe, defends the bill and explains that it was the result of careful study and input from various parties interested in the welfare of the Indians. He also mentions that the bill was supported by both Democrats and Republicans."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_54_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_54_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Debating the Indian Claims Commission Bill")
