Congressman Albert successfully advocated for the passage of a bill to settle old treaty obligations with the Choctaw tribes, providing them with $350,666.67 subject to a vote. The Indian Office will hold an election to determine the Choctaws' decision. The Commissioner's decision to pay heirs who have proven their heirship and provided addresses is welcomed news for thousands of Indians in Southeastern Oklahoma, as many have been waiting for their money.
