- Description:
- The document expresses concern about the potential change in Choctaw Chieftainship and urges the Department of Indian Affairs to keep their promise of allowing a nominating convention for the selection of the next chief. The writer fears that without this process, a new chief may be appointed who continues policies that are disapproved by the majority of Choctaws. They request a reply to confirm if the promise will be upheld.
