- Description:
- The document dated March 28, 1974, addressed to Mr. Thomas A. Ellison, expresses disapproval of the plan proposed by Principal Chief Claude A. Cox for the use of Creek Judgment Funds. The document argues that the plan was developed without the knowledge and consent of tribal members and contains too many uncertainties. It also criticizes the lack of organization within the tribal government and the disregard for other views within the tribe. The document requests further consideration for the Creek people as rightful beneficiaries of the funds and suggests that any desire for legislation should be initiated by the Creek people.
