![["The document is a letter from Carl Albert, a member of Congress, discussing an inter-tribal council meeting and expressing concern about an Indian boy named Jimmy Sam who has been causing trouble. The meeting involved leaders of the five civilized tribes in Oklahoma who are planning to challenge federal government mandates regarding tribal election procedures. The tribes are considering legal action and are determined to establish their own rules for elections. The meeting also addressed the issue of a 35-year minimum age requirement for chief candidates, with some tribes refusing to comply.
