![["The Full Blood Creek Indians are holding a meeting in Weleetka, Oklahoma to seek equal rights and fair representation for the Creek Indians. They believe that the U.S. Government has not been supportive of their rights and are seeking legal answers to their problems. They are also discussing the need for a Creek council and fair representation in tribal matters. They emphasize the importance of unity and standing up for their beliefs to protect their land and trust funds."]](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_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Seeking Equal Rights and Fair Representation: Full Blood Creek Indians Meeting")
![["The plaintiffs, members of the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes, filed a lawsuit seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to conduct a tribal referendum on a contract for the Concho School. The tribal business committee denied the petition for the referendum. The plaintiffs argued for jurisdiction based on the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968, but the court found jurisdiction lacking and dismissed the case, allowing the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint within ten days. The court also ruled that the plaintiffs' request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction were moot."]](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_26_0001-Indian%20Affairs,%20Concho%20Indian%20School,%201974%20July%20-%201978%20Aug/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_26_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Dismissal of Tribal Referendum Lawsuit Due to Lack of Jurisdiction")

![["The document from Ms. Betty J. Brown to Senator Dewey F. Bartlett discusses the need for a compilation by the Muskogee Area Office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs listing all persons in the Five Civilized Tribes who were reinstated to the Dawes Commission Rolls. This would allow these individuals and their descendants to have voting rights without having to provide extensive documentation to Election Committees. Senator Bartlett requests the views and opinions of Mr. Thomas J. Ellison on this suggestion. Additionally, there is a letter from Eric H. Bohannon, Chairman of the Choctaw Election Committee, informing Ms. Brown that she will not be able to vote in the current election but will be included in the absentee mailing list for a potential run-off election."]](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_14_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201973%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201973-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_14_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Proposal for Simplified Voting Rights Documentation in Five Tribes Elections")
