Letter: Fred Harris to a member of the Cherokee Nation, thanking them for their testimony in support of a bill that would provide for the US to hold certain lands in trust for the Cherokee Nation.1967-08-22unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_026_1_80_14_0004The author is discussing the Chilocco Bill, which would give the federal government control of some land currently owned by a Native American tribe. The author says that the Senate has appointed conferees to negotiate the bill, but that the House has not yet done so. The author urges the reader to call the Senate conferees and stress the importance of keeping the tribe's mineral rights, as giving them up would impede the tribe's development.
