The Choctaw People's Plea for a Referendum, 1952-06-11

 Item — Box: 13, Folder: 74
Identifier: CAC_CC_001_4_13_74_0008
The text is a letter from a member of the Choctaw Nation to Senator Mike Monroney, asking him to use his influence to procure a referendum that would allow the Choctaw people to elect their own candidate for appointment as Principal Chief. The letter argues that this is the democratic and American way, and that the Choctaw people should not be denied this right simply because they are a minority group.
