- Description:
- The document discusses the remaining unclaimed funds belonging to the Chickasaw Nation held by the United States Treasury, amounting to over $58,000. Efforts have been made to locate the rightful owners but with no success, leading to a proposal to restore the funds to tribal ownership under legislation enacted in 1961. Governor Overton James supports this proposal, and the Department of the Interior is seeking approval from the Senate and House Committees on Interior and Insular Affairs to proceed with the restoration.
