Correspondence Regarding the Sale of Indian Lands in 19371937-07-16unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_053_12_10_64_0024The letter is from Wiley Stewart to Senator Elmer Thomas expressing concern about the sale of Indian lands, specifically timbered lands in the Eastern part of the state. Stewart believes that the government has neglected the timber and allowed people to remove it for commercial purposes. He requests that the sale be postponed until an investigation is done and part of the mineral rights are reserved. Senator Thomas assures Stewart that he is cooperating with Chief Durant of the Choctaw Tribe to address the issue.
