The tapes are aimed at teaching Cherokee language to those with a heritage in it, as well as those who are interested in learning. The tapes have gained interest and have been bought by individuals, schools, and colleges. Prentice Robinson, along with his wife Wilena, have worked on this project since 1974, with Wilena helping to keep their children away from the recording studio. In addition to teaching, Prentice has taken up wood carving as a hobby. The tapes are recorded in a way that does not require a written study guide, allowing for easy learning and replaying of lessons. The Robinsons have two children, Jerome and Lenya.

Brown to Senator Dewey F. Bartlett discusses the need for a compilation by the Muskogee Area Office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs listing all persons in the Five Civilized Tribes who were reinstated to the Dawes Commission Rolls. This would allow these individuals and their descendants to have voting rights without having to provide extensive documentation to Election Committees. Senator Bartlett requests the views and opinions of Mr. Thomas J. Ellison on this suggestion. Additionally, there is a letter from Eric H. Bohannon, Chairman of the Choctaw Election Committee, informing Ms. Brown that she will not be able to vote in the current election but will be included in the absentee mailing list for a potential run-off election.
