Correspondence Regarding the Appointment of the Chickasaw Nation Governor, 19631963-01-01unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_038_8_32_18_0022The text is a petition from the National Advisory Committee of the Chickasaw Nation of Indians in Oklahoma, urging the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Interior, and other officials to appoint a Governor of the Chickasaw Nation as authorized by law, rather than through a convention. The committee argues that a convention would not accurately represent all Chickasaw Indians, and that the appointment of the Governor should remain within the authority of the Federal Government for the benefit of all Chickasaw citizens.
