Description:

The Principal Chief of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma wrote to Dr. Theodore Marrs expressing concern about high unemployment rates in southeastern Oklahoma, particularly among Native American populations. The Chief requested assistance in reducing unemployment and improving tribal management. In response, a letter from the Speaker of Indian Affairs informed the Chief of a bill that had been passed to provide public jobs and assistance to depressed areas, including those in the Old Choctaw Nation. The document assured the Chief of continued support and assistance.
