![["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."]](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_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201946%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201946-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Cherokee Tribe's $15 Million River Land Valuation")
![["The Choctaw-Chickasaw Alliance passed a resolution opposing the appointment of Thomas J. Ellison as Area Director of the B.I.A. Muskogee Area Office. They believe Ellison does not support their efforts to protect tribal land and water rights. They are requesting support from Congressman John N. Happy Camp to appoint someone outside the Muskogee Area Office to the position. Congressman Camp thanked them for the information and assured them it will be passed on to the right place."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_1_26_14_0000-Interior%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs.%20Correspondence,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_1_26_14_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Supporting Indian Self-Determination and Educational Reform: A Message to Congress")
