Indian Affairs and Economic Development in Oklahoma: A Congressional Correspondence, 1964-04-30
Item
Identifier: CAC_CC_001_4_47_62_0003
The Bureau of Indian Affairs received a letter from Congressman Tom Steed regarding the investment of tribal funds in Wewoka Plastics, Inc. The company is in need of working capital and the Bureau proposed a $20,000 investment from the tribe, with the community matching this amount. However, they also required certain measures to be taken, such as a moratorium on a local development company loan and an audit of company records. The Bureau expressed concerns about the company's profitability and urged for an independent audit before further investments. Congressman Steed and Commissioner Nash are working together to find alternatives to support the economy of the Seminole Tribe.
