Staff Only

Mrs. Alma R. Chapman wrote a letter to Congressman James R. Jones in May 1973, seeking clarification on the status of the Pawnee Indian Tribal Council and the validity of the Council elections scheduled for May 5, 1973. She also mentioned her concerns about her unpaid claim for hours worked as Tribal Clerk and her husband's removal as Council Chairman without notice of charges. Mrs. Chapman questioned the legitimacy of the upcoming council election and argued that it would be a wasteful expense if it proceeded without recognition from the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Department of Interior.
