![["Elmer Manatowa, Principal Chief of the Sac and Fox Tribe of Oklahoma, supports H.R. 11771 which divides a judgment award between the Oklahoma Sac and Fox and the Iowa Sac and Fox tribes based on current membership.

They argue that dividing the award based on current membership is the fairest and most democratic approach."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_13_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Sac%20and%20Fox%20Indians,%201970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_13_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Statement of Principal Chief Elmer Manatowa, Jr. in Support of H.R. 11771: Division of Judgment Funds Among Sac and Fox Tribes")
