- Description:
- The document from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to Congressman Carl Albert discusses the request for an extension of the Act of August 25, 1959, by Principal Chief Harry Belvin of the Choctaw Nation. The Act requires the sale of Choctaw lands and the establishment of a legal entity to succeed the tribe. The Bureau is currently focused on creating the legal entity and does not plan to recommend an extension of the Act at this time. They are also considering an amendment to allow individual Choctaws to participate in the Bureau's loan program. The document outlines the timeline and requirements of the Act and explains the Bureau's current actions and plans.
