![["Congressman Carl Albert announced plans to introduce three bills in the next Congress regarding Indian affairs. The first bill aims to extend restrictions on members of the Five Civilized Tribes, the second bill will reopen the right to file claims before the Indian Claims Commission, and the third bill is focused on promoting the rehabilitation of members of the Five Civilized Tribes and other Indians in eastern Oklahoma. The priority is to pass the bill to extend restrictions before April 26, 1956, to protect Oklahoma Indians from potential hardships."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Speeches%20and%20Press%20Releases,%201927-1976%20-%20CAC_CC_001_16_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_001_16_23_68_0000-Press%20Releases-Indian%20Affairs.,%20undated/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_16_23_68_0003_thumbnail.jpg "0")

![["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 Department of the Interior has signed a contract to purchase 300,000 acres of coal and asphalt lands from the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian Nations in Oklahoma for $8.5 million. The lands contain high-grade bituminous coal and a large amount of coal reserves. The contract is subject to ratification by the Nations and Congress, and approval would end a 45-year federal trusteeship over the lands.
