1937 Correspondence on the Sale of Choctaw and Chickasaw Timber Lands1937-07-30unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_053_12_10_63_0028The text includes a letter from Senator Elmer Thomas regarding the sale of timber lands of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations in Oklahoma. Curtis expresses concern about the manner in which the land is being sold, suggesting it should be sold by tract at a time to allow more competition. However, the Office of Indian Affairs responds that selling individual tracts would be impractical due to the scattered nature of the land and the difficulties in administration. They decide to stick with the existing terms of sale.
