- Description:
- The document is questioning the Department of Interior's decision to pay the Choctaw-Chickasaw tribes $350 per capita, as the tribes believe they should receive $366 per capita based on their calculations. The document expresses concern that the difference is being earmarked for unnecessary expenses and suggests that all the money in the tribal treasury should be paid out to the tribes. It also questions the allocation of funds for a Choctaw Attorney and tribal council, as these services are no longer needed. The document requests clarification on how the retained money will be used and expresses concern about the fairness of the payment process.
