- Description:
- The letter is regarding the Pawnee Tribal Claim and the decision on whether the funds should be distributed per capita or used for reservation development programs. The Pawnee Tribe is in favor of per capita payments, as many tribal members do not live near the reservation and believe they should have a say in how the funds are used. The letter expresses concern about the undemocratic nature of investing the funds without individual consent.
