![["The University of Oklahoma sent a report titled \"Housing and Community Alternatives for American Indians\" to Professor Arn Henderson, who works in the Office of Research Administration. The report was the result of a three-year research effort funded by the National Science Foundation. The University expressed gratitude for the opportunity to review the study and believed it would be helpful in planning for future housing needs of American Indian groups. They also mentioned that the report could be applied more broadly in formulating a comprehensive national program relating to housing for American Indians."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_132_2_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20General,%201975/thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_132_2_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence on Housing and Community Alternatives for American Indians Research Report")

![["The document discusses the mutual self-help housing program sponsored by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for Cherokee Indian families in Oklahoma. It mentions that some families are facing eviction due to falling behind on payments, despite facing financial difficulties. The Housing Authority of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma has constructed housing units and is preparing to advertise more units. The program has had a positive impact on the community by providing job opportunities and improving the lives of participants' children. The Authority acknowledges past problems but is working on solutions. The ultimate goal is to provide adequate housing for all people living in substandard conditions. The program is based on ability to pay, with monthly payments ranging from $12 to $125."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_20_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Housing,%201973%20Mar.%20-%201978%20Oct.,%201973-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_20_0022_thumbnail.jpg "Struggle and Progress: The Mutual Self-Help Housing Program and the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma, 1975")

The Bureau of Indian Affairs and Muskogee Area Office have both stated that they cannot offer him recognition as a Creek Indian due to lack of sufficient proof of his Creek Indian blood. Senator Bartlett made an inquiry on his behalf but was unable to provide any hope of recognition.
