- Description:
- Pawnee Indians visited Governor Murray at the State Capitol in Oklahoma to gain access to historical records in order to obtain information about promises made to them by the national government during their forced relocation. The tribe requested permission to inspect records of the Oklahoma Historical Society. Governor Murray met with the tribe, including junior chief George Roberts and senior chief Henry Chapman, to discuss their request. Additionally, a letter dated January 12, 1932, indicates that there has been a change in the amount of funding requested by the Pawnee tribe for their use, and they are awaiting approval.
