![["Mrs. J.F. Bossham, an enrolled Choctaw Indian from Texas, wrote to Honorable Carl Albert inquiring about a settlement for the Choctaw Indians. Mr. Albert forwarded her letter to the Bureau of Indian Affairs for a response. Mrs. Bossham received a response from the Bureau stating that her inquiry had been sent to the Area Director for consideration. Mr. Albert continued to follow up on the matter and provided Mrs. Bossham with updates on the progress of her inquiry."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_001_4_47_53_0003.jpg "Choctaw Indian Settlement Inquiries")
![["The Cherokee tribe owns a section of the Arkansas River in Oklahoma that has been appraised at $15 million. The ownership of the river bed is in dispute and is the subject of litigation. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the tribes in 1970, but the matter still needs to be resolved by Congress. The appraisal includes land beneath the water, sand, gravel, and mineral resources. The Corps of Engineers is involved in the Arkansas River navigation project, which is also part of the dispute. The Cherokee tribe should be compensated for their river property according to their attorney."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0013.jpg "Cherokee Tribe's $15 Million River Land Valuation")
